'''Multistable perception''' (or '''bistable perception''') is a [[perceptual]] phenomenon in which an observer experiences an unpredictable sequence of spontaneous subjective changes. While usually associated with [[visual perception]] (a form of [[optical illusion]]), multistable perception can also be experienced with [[Sound|auditory]] and [[olfactory]] percepts.
