Abstract
We report here a series of observations-most of which the reader tan e xperience directly-showing that distinct components of patterned visua l stimuli (orthogonal lines of a different hue) vary in perception as sets. Although less frequent and often less complete, these perceptual fluctuations in normal viewing are otherwise similar to the binocular rivalry experienced when incompatible scenes are presented dichoptica lly.
