Conceptual and Theoretical Foundations (2012, background): “Prolonged exposure typically leads to switching between these interpretations (e.g., Attneave, 1971; Einhäuser, Martin, & König, 2004; Nakatani & van Leeuwen, 2005, 2006; Peterson & Gibson, 1991; van Dam & van Ee, 2006; for a review, see Long & Toppino, 2004).”
• Perceptual multistability predicted by search model for Bayesian decisions. (2008, background): “Many theories have emphasized the role that noninferential explanations like neural adaptation may play in generating multistability (Attneave, 1971; Blake 1989; Lehky 1988; Long, 1992 and Taylor 1974).”
