Abstract

Multistable perception phenomena in seeing ambiguous figures have been observed and their distribution curves of alternation durations are well-known as the Gamma distribution through psychophysical experiments. It is important and interesting to investigate its describable model for clarifying brain functions. In this paper, we propose a model based on the multilayered bidirectional associative memories and report good simulation results on the distribution of alternation durations.
