To answer the question 'what is suppressed during binocular rivalry?" a series of three experiments was performed. In the first experiment observers viewed binocular rivalry between orthogonally oriented patterns. When the dominant and suppressed patterns were interchanged between the eyes observers continued seeing with the dominant eye, indicating that an eye, not a pattern, is suppressed during rivalry. In a second experiment it was found that a suppressed eye was able to contribute to stereopsis. A third experiment demonstrated that the predominance of an eye could be influenced by prior adaptation of the other eye, indicating that binocular mechanisms participate in the rivalry process.
为了回答“双眼竞争期间什么被抑制了？”这个问题，进行了一系列三个实验。在第一个实验中，观察者观看正交定向图案之间的双眼竞争。当优势图案和被抑制图案在两眼之间互换时，观察者继续用优势眼观看，这表明在竞争期间被抑制的是一只眼睛，而不是一个图案。在第二个实验中，发现被抑制的眼睛能够对立体视觉做出贡献。第三个实验表明，一只眼睛的优势可以受到另一只眼睛先前适应的影响，这表明双眼机制参与了竞争过程。
