“…Although its exact neural mechanisms are still disputed, accumulating evidence suggests that they might be located early in the cortical visual pathways, probably in V1 (e.g. Humphrey and Goodale, 1998; but see Siegel and Allan, 1992 for an associative learning explanation).…”

When an image is presented to one eye and a very different image is presented to the corresponding location of the other eye, they compete for perceptual dominance, such that only one image is visible at a time while the other is suppressed. Called binocular rivalry, this phenomenon and its deviants have been extensively exploited to study the mechanism and neural correlates of consciousness. In this paper, we propose a framework, the unconscious binding hypothesis, to distinguish unconscious and conscious processing. According to this framework, the unconscious mind not only encodes individual features but also temporally binds distributed features to give rise to cortical representation, but unlike conscious binding, such unconscious binding is fragile. Under this framework, we review evidence from psychophysical and neuroimaging studies, which suggests that: (1) for invisible low level features, prolonged exposure to visual pattern and simple translational motion can alter the appearance of subsequent visible features (i.e. adaptation); for invisible high level features, although complex spiral motion cannot produce adaptation, nor can objects/words enhance subsequent processing of related stimuli (i.e. priming), images of objects such as tools can nevertheless activate the dorsal pathway; and (2) although invisible central cues cannot orient attention, invisible erotic pictures in the periphery can nevertheless guide attention, likely through emotional arousal; reciprocally, the processing of invisible information can be modulated by attention at perceptual and neural levels.

“…An intriguing case was reported by Durgin (1996), in which texture density aftereffects were selective for the color of a surrounding frame. Such results suggest that the visual system can adapt to a potentially wide range of associations, and there are arguments that contingent aftereffects may actually represent a form of learning rather than sensory adaptation (Siegel & Allan 1992). However, it remains controversial whether a ME can be formed with any pattern.…”

“…There is a large literature that is concerned not only with the properties of such aftereffects, but also with what they may tell us, at a theoretical level, about the mechanisms of vision (for various proposals and reviews, see Barlow, 1990;Broerse & O'Shea, 1995;Dodwell & Humphrey, 1990;Durgin, 1996;Durgin & Proffitt, 1996;Harris, 1980;Humphrey, 1998;Siegel & Allan, 1993;Skowbo, Timney, Gentry, & Morant, 1975;Stromeyer, 1978). In this paper, most of our discussion will be devoted to the McCollough effect, the most commonly studied contingent aftereffect.…”
