We showcase an optical phenomenon that we call . The effect is most easily induced by viewing one's own reflection in a mirror. Using the pupil of the opposing eye as a fixation target, people can easily cross their eyes in free fusion to experience vivid rivalry. The resulting percept is of a prominent central "third" eye and two peripheral faces rivaling for perceptual dominance. We illustrate the process of achieving third-eye rivalry and discuss historical connotations of the third eye in scientific and mystical contexts.
我们展示了一种我们称之为 的光学现象。通过观察自己在镜子中的反射,这种效果最容易诱发。以对侧眼睛的瞳孔作为注视目标,人们可以轻松地在自由融合中使眼睛交叉,以体验生动的竞争。产生的感知是一个突出的中央“第三只”眼睛和两张外周脸争夺感知主导权。我们阐述了实现第三只眼竞争的过程,并讨论了在科学和神秘背景下第三只眼的历史内涵。
