Also known as binocular rivalry, retinal rivalry is the alternating perception that occurs when the two eyes are simultaneously presented with dissimilar stimuli such as contrasting colors, orientations, or patterns. Instead of fusing the two images into one percept, perception fluctuates irregularly between the two rival images, with one eye’s view being consciously perceived while the other is suppressed from awareness.
