Abstract
I Agree: Binocular Rivalry Stimuli are Common but Rivalry is Not
Highlights
Readers should note the language above and in the original paper
I have argued that binocular rivalry (BR) is uncommon, that exposure to unmatched monocular images in daily life does not typically result in BR, that images of proximate obstructions tend to be persistently suppressed from awareness
How long is that piece of string? Suffice to say that in daily life the suppression of proximate obstructions is of sufficient duration to enhance the visibility of fixated objects over selective obstructions and to ensure that BR is seldom, if ever, experienced
Summary
I have argued that BR is uncommon, that exposure to unmatched monocular images in daily life does not typically result in BR, that images of proximate obstructions tend to be persistently suppressed from awareness. I would not, like to suggest that BR can never happen in daily life, nor that the images of proximate obstructions will invariably be eternally suppressed.
