We show that the layered architecture of cortical microcircuits can explain bistable perception through winnerless dynamics, where deep layers inhibit upper layers and recurrent connections between superficial and granular layers implement input suppression, both reducing attractor depth and increasing alternation rates with stronger stimulus drive.

We propose that neural synchrony in visual cortex explains collinear facilitation and suppression effects, where flanking Gabor stimuli enhance or reduce target detectability through synchronized oscillations among neuronal populations with overlapping receptive fields.
