Abstract

Visual competition is one of the long-standing mysteries in vision science. The image that arises from a person’s visual awareness of a constant visual input can spontaneously and stochastically changed between two or more possible interpretations. Visual competition is largely defined by the actual visual experience. However, recent studies have suggested that the process of resolving visual ambiguity is not limited to the domain of vision. Rather, the process is likely susceptible to various types of nonvisual modulation (e.g., auditory and haptic/tactile). Here, the authors review the recent studies that investigate the crossmodal interactions found in visual competition. These current studies highlight the significant crossmodal effects in visual competition, including the bias toward visual interpretations that are congruent with other modalities and the temporal synchronization of the transition between two (or more) visual interpretations with nonvisual events. These nonvisual modulations of visual competition reveal that visual perception is built upon several levels of crossmodal synchronization.
