Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Normally, our left and right eyes see almost the same thing (as long as we have both eyes open of course). Our two eyes take in the same image, send this information to the brain, and the brain processes the information so that we can see the image. But we can also separate what the two eyes see and make them see different things, for example, by using special glasses. What do you think would happen if you saw a dog with your left eye and an ice cream with your right eye? You may think that we see a mixture of the two, i.e., half ice cream and half dog. Surprisingly, we do not. What we do see is the image of the ice cream and dog switching back and forth. This is called binocular rivalry because the two (“bi”) different inputs to the eyes (“ocular”) compete (or, “rival”) for dominance. |
