ABSTRACT

We see the magnificence of the nature through our two bare eyes, albeit due to image coherence at the retina, we normally perceive only one sight at a time. That is, monocular stimuli get merged into a single visual impression. When two distinct sceneries are given to our eyes simultaneously (dichoptic projection), we cannot see both images in coherence and can we actively focus on our preferred one. Rather than that, each eye’s visual experience rotates between the two exhibited images. Additionally, transient and unsteady blends of image pairs could be visible during transitions. Binocular rivalry is the term used to describe this occurrence of alternating visual impressions. To comprehend its basic process, numerous hypotheses have been advanced to date. Recent breakthroughs have enabled scientists to explain a plethora of fresh facts about binocular rivalry. However, their curiosity has not yet reached a suitable level. As such, this study considers the mechanism and ideas underlying it, as well as its future usefulness in the disciplines of neuroscience and research.
