Crowding effect is the impairment of peripheral object identification due to nearby objects. Binocular rivalry is a phenomenon in which perception alternates between two different objects presented separately to each eye. The purpose of this study was to investigate the correlation between these two phenomena. We measured the magnitudes of visibility index of these two effects at 8 different locations of 3 different eccentricities (2, 5, and $10^{\circ}$). Significant positive correlation between the two measurements was found only near the fovea ($2^{\circ}$). Our study is the demonstration to show relationship between crowding and binocular rivalry.

The present study aimed to understand the sensory characteristic of change detection by comparing the experience of detecting a salient visual change against the experience of detecting a sensory conflict evoked by a binocular mismatch. In Experiment 1, we used the change detection task where 2, 4, or 6 items were short-term remembered in visual working memory and were compared with following test items. The half of change-present trials were manipulated to elicit a binocular rivalry on the test item with the change by way of monocular inputs across the eyes. The results showed that change detection accuracy without the rivalry manipulation declined evidently as the display setsize increased whereas no such setsize effect was observed with the rivalry manipulation. Experiment 2 tested search efficiency for the search array where the target was designated as an item with the rivalry manipulation, and found the search was very efficient regardless of the rivalry manipulation. The results of Experiment 1 and 2 showed that when the given memory load varies, the experience of detecting a salient visual change become similar to the experience of detecting a sensory conflict by a binocular rivalry.

Flat panel multiview 3D displays developed in recent years have pseudoscopic regions that appear unnatural to viewers. We suggest a new method to suppress the pseudoscopic regions based on the visual characteristics of binocular rivalry. We confirm the validity of this method experimentally and show that the unnaturalness caused by pseudoscopic regions can be effectively suppressed.

Bonneh, Cooperman and Sagi (2001) reported that when a global moving pattern was superimposed on high-contrast stationary stimuli, the latter disappeared and reappeared alternatively for periods of several seconds. They named this as motion-induced-blindness. In present research a rotating transparent cylinder composed of white dots was superimposed on a stationary green dots. When observers watched these stimuli wearing a red filter on his/her right eye, the stationary green dots disappeared or reappeared as did in Bonneh et al. The new MIB was observed only when the cylinder rotated and observers weared a red filter. As the luminance contrast of the green dots and that of white dots against the background reduced, and as the number of green dots and white dots decreased, the duration of MIB reduced. Also, the relative depth of the rotating cylinder and the stationary green dots affected the duration of MIB. These results imply that the new MIB is different from the MIB which was observed by Bonneh et al and that the new MIB cannot be explained by binocular rivalry. Further more, the results imply that the later stage of visual information processing is involved in the new MIB.
