Abstract:                     
Why does the phenomenal appearance of ambiguous patterns reverse spontaneously? What neural events precede and prompt these reversals? Of the two factors have been widely suspected – attention and adaptation – we can rule out the former and fail to find evidence implicating the latter. Surprisingly, we do find such evidence for a short-term memory of visual appearance. Perceptual states and memory states reverse independently and at widely different time-scales. Taken together, our results suggest that multi-stable perception (and perhaps phenomenal appearance generally) involves a close interaction of perceptual and memory levels.
