What theoretical conclusion do the studies on binocular rivalry support? a. Unconscious processes control much of human behavior. b. A stimulus activates much of the brain when you are conscious of it. c. Damage to the right hemisphere leads to a tendency to neglect the left side of space. d. Certain people who appear to be in a vegetative state may nevertheless be conscious.

Binocular rivalry is an interesting phenomenon. Researchers use this visual experience to study conscious awareness. The absence of correlation in the stimuli makes it a fascinating concept.
Binocular rivalry is a function of visual perception in which two stimuli are perceived differently instead of being perceived as a single stimulus. The perceptual mixing of the different stimuli does not occur.
A stimulus that is subdued or not used becomes faded. In other words, a stimulus that is actively presented to the retina dominates the visual processing. It does not allow a second stimulus to have the same effect and it disappears from the conscious awareness.
Hence, the option "b. A stimulus activates much of the brain when you are conscious of it" is the correct answer.
