How (not) to underestimate unconscious perception

Recent work questions whether previously reported unconscious perceptual effects are genuinely unconscious, or due to weak conscious perception. Some philosophers and psychologists react by rejecting perception holding that it has been overestimated. I argue the most significant attack on commits criterion content fallacy: fallacy of interpreting evidence observers were something as they task-relevant features. This is prevalent in consciousness research: if exists, scientists could routinely underestimate it. conclude with methodological recommendations for moving debate forward.
