‘Two vs one’ rivalry by the Loxley–Robinson model

Abstract

We apply the competitive model of Loxley and Robinson (Phys Rev Lett 102:258701, 2009. doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.102.258701) to the study of a special case of visual rivalry. Three-peaked inputs with maxima at symmetrical locations are introduced, and the role of three-bump configurations is then considered. The model yields conditions for what can be interpreted as a bistable percept analogous to the one-dimensional version of a competition between the central and flanking parts of an image.
