“…(Angell, 1907, p. 64) While many early 20th Century psychologists discussed consciousness and its investigation in their writings, very few did so specifically in relation to rivalry. McDougall, 1911McDougall, , 1930. In studies using Schröder's staircase and binocular color rivalry, he found similarities in their (successive) interval durations, and in the effect of voluntary control and monocular atropine administration on percept dominance (1901a, 1901b, 1903a, 1906).…”

Contributions from 19th Century scholars to binocular rivalry research are well recognized, however, observations concerning the phenomenon commenced centuries earlier and suggest a rich seam of research that is much less well known. This chapter discusses these early investigations, along with conflicting views and observations thereafter. We also discuss the early application of notions of attention and consciousness to rivalry. Such notions have more recently been the subject of concerted investigation into distinguishing brain activity mediating the rivaling states from that underlying visual stimulation. Observations in the literature that preceded this key principle are discussed. We also trace the rivalry studies that followed and note their relevance to current thinking on the phenomenon. * TTN supported by NHMRC (ID 490976).

“…Evidence is tellingly arrayed by McDougall (8), in a mass and detail impossible here to reproduce, that corresponding retinal points are not connected with a common cortical center; at the central parts immediately connected with consciousness the paths taken by the excitation from corresponding points are anatomically distinct. Yet there is an intimate functional relation-now a reciprocal inhibition and now a reciprocal reinforcement of the processes arising from such points.…”

“…Piper (13) also modified the statement of his experiments to indicate that summation is noticeable only with dim illumination. McDougall (12) and Roelofs and Zeeman (14) also report a failure to find evidences of summation in bright illumination. Lohman found a binocular summation of threshold stimuli when taking descending measures (10).…”
