Editing Multistable perception (section)

== Characterization ==
The transition from one precept (an undefined term) to its alternative (the defined term) is called a perceptual reversal ([[Paradigm shift]]). They are spontaneous and [[stochastic]] events that cannot be eliminated by intentional efforts, although some control over the alternation process is learnable. Reversal rates vary drastically between stimuli and observers. They are slower for people with [[bipolar disorder]].<ref>{{Cite journal | last1 = Pettigrew | first1 = J.
