Two experiments were performed to localize the site of binocular rivalry suppression in relation to the locus of grating adaptation. In one experiment it was found that phenomenal suppression of a high-contrast adaptation grating presented to one eye had no influence on the strength of the threshold-elevation aftereffect measured interocularly. Evidently information about the adaptation grating arrives at the site of the aftereffect (presumably binocular neurons) even during suppression. In a second experiment 60 s of grating adaptation was found to produce a short-term reduction in the predominance of the adapted eye during binocular rivalry. These findings provide converging lines of evidence that suppression occurs at a site in the human visual system after the locus of grating adaptation and, hence, after the striate cortex.
进行了两项实验，以确定双眼竞争抑制的位点与光栅适应位点的关系。在一项实验中，发现呈现给一只眼睛的高对比度适应光栅的现象学抑制对眼间测量的阈值升高后效应的强度没有影响。显然，即使在抑制期间，关于适应光栅的信息也会到达后效应位点（可能是双眼神经元）。在第二项实验中，发现60秒的光栅适应会导致双眼竞争期间适应眼优势的短期降低。这些发现提供了多条证据，表明抑制发生在人类视觉系统中光栅适应位点之后的一个位点，因此，是在纹状皮层之后。
