Magnitude of suppression of binocular rivalry within the invisible pattern

How the magnitude of the suppression effect in binocular rivalry is shared within the completely invisible pattern was studied. Accuracy of detecting a target presented in the invisible pattern was measured at each of two positions of the target combined with two positions of the fixation point. The target which was presented at the periphery of the suppressed invisible pattern was detected more accurately than that presented at the center regardless of the position of fixation.
