Stimuli composed of two overlapped faces, one rotated 45 degrees clockwise and the other 45 degrees counterclockwise, produce perceptual rivalry whereby both faces cannot be simultaneously perceived. We obtained subjective and quantitative measures of this rivalry effect and examined if it persists with inverted stimuli. Our results show that upright stimuli are multistable, with alternations occurring from one face to the other within 2 s. Inverted stimuli were instead perceived as ambiguous in half of the trials, indicating weaker perceptual rivalry in that condition. We suggest that overlapped faces produce perceptual rivalry because each face is readily interpreted into a Gestalt, an effect that in turn is dependent upon orientation.
