...no and Kondo, 2012) and the two may share, at least partially, a common neural circuitry during perceptual reversal (Kondo et al., 2012; Sterzer et al., 2009). Both, for example, engage the sensory areas (auditory cortex in the case of auditory stimuli and visual cortex for visual stimuli) and parietal cortex (Sterzer et al., 2009; Kashino andKondo, 2012 for a review). They also apparently share the common feature that, where the bi-stability crosses categorical boundaries, the ACC is involved, sincewith auditory instability theACC is only engaged with so-called verbal transformation effects (Sato et al., 2004). For example, when a word such as “life” is repeated rapidly and continuously listeners' perception of the word will alter between ‘life’ and ‘fly’ (e.g. Warren and Gregory, 1958). There may in fact be further analogies between them. A tone is a tone and a face is a face, but ‘life’ is not ‘fly’ and a ‘face’ is not a ‘vase’; hence they belong to different ‘conceptual’ categories within the two sensory domains. We therefore propose that, in addition to the activation of general reversal-related neural circuits, the ACC comes into play when the two interpretations belong to different conceptual...

In addition to speech perception paradigms, signs of multistable perception have also been observed in a variety of musical tasks (e.g., Deutsch, 1997...
