Main idea is that fMRI studies have consistently shown a relationship between neural activity in V1 and LGN (early visual processing areas) and the resolution of binocular rivalry, even though electrophysiological studies have not demonstrated this relationship. The explanation for this is hard to understand but essentially it seems like the type of neural activity most associated with perceptual awareness (local field potentials) is easier to track using fMRI than electrophysiological methodology, hence fMRI is more useful for studying the neural underpinnings of binocular rivalry than electrophysiological studies.
