Answer:

Parahippocampal place area (PPA)

Step-by-step explanation:

Binocular rivalry is the visual event that require non-cognitive switching between two images. This happens when a person is being shown two images simultaneously, and is only conscious to one image at a time. That image is said to be dominant and the other suppressed.
