Are there unconscious perceptual processes?
Blindsight and vision for action seem to be exemplars of unconscious visual processes. However, researchers have recently argued that blindsight is not really a kind of unconscious vision but is rather severely degraded conscious vision. Morten Overgaard and colleagues have recently developed new methods for measuring the visibility of visual stimuli. Studies using these methods show that repor...
متن کاملTreatment Decisions When There Are Multiple Options
This paper suggests a simple framework for analyzing treatment decisions when a patient is faced with multiple options, all of which are uncertain, and differ in terms of duration, sideeffects, and outcomes. The model allows for a fallback plan if the first treatment fails so that simply ranking treatments by their expected return is not optimal. The optimal treatment plan is patient specific. ...
متن کاملUnconscious influences on decision making in blindsight.
Newell & Shanks (N&S) argue that an explanation for blindsight need not appeal to unconscious brain processes, citing research indicating that the condition merely reflects degraded visual experience. We reply that other evidence suggests blindsighters' predictive behavior under forced choice reflects cognitive access to low-level visual information that does not correlate with visual conscious...
متن کاملAre there genetic influences on sporadic brain arteriovenous malformations?
The genesis of brain arteriovenous malformations remains enigmatic. We reviewed some pathways involving inflammatory and angiogenic signals that are amenable to the study of genetic single-nucleotide polymorphisms associated with the sporadic disease. Such study can yield insights into arteriovenous malformation pathogenesis and suggest possible fruitful approaches to developing medical therapy...
متن کاملExtraneous factors in judicial decisions.
Are judicial rulings based solely on laws and facts? Legal formalism holds that judges apply legal reasons to the facts of a case in a rational, mechanical, and deliberative manner. In contrast, legal realists argue that the rational application of legal reasons does not sufficiently explain the decisions of judges and that psychological, political, and social factors influence judicial rulings...
