Rich conscious perception outside focal attention.
Can we consciously see more items at once than can be held in visual working memory? This question has eluded resolution because the ultimate evidence is subjects' reports in which phenomenal consciousness is filtered through working memory. However, a new technique makes use of the fact that unattended 'ensemble properties' can be detected 'for free' without decreasing working memory capacity.
متن کاملNonconscious perception, conscious awareness and attention.
Because it is unclear how a nonconscious stimulus is cognitively processed, there is uncertainty concerning variables that modulate the processing. In this context recent findings of a set of neuroimaging experiments are important. These findings suggest that conscious and nonconscious stimuli activate same areas of the brain during performance of a similar task. Further, different areas are ac...
متن کاملConscious visual perception without V1.
We used the technique of PET to determine whether visual signals reach visual area V5, specialized for visual motion, when a human patient, blinded by a lesion in area V1, discriminates the direction of motion of visual stimuli and shows, through his verbal reports, that he is consciously aware of both the nature of the visual stimulus and its direction of motion. The results showed that area V...
متن کاملVisual perception from the perspective of a representational, non-reductionistic, level-dependent account of perception and conscious awareness
This article proposes a new model to interpret seemingly conflicting evidence concerning the correlation of consciousness and neural processes. Based on an analysis of research of blindsight and subliminal perception, the reorganization of elementary functions and consciousness framework suggests that mental representations consist of functions at several different levels of analysis, including...
متن کاملUnconscious and conscious processes during visual perception.
Ongoing unconscious processes may be influenced by related conscious processes without self-awareness. (a) When the conscious semantic interpretation of physically identical shapes changes due to their angular rotation, the sequence of saccadic movements arid the localization of eye fixations over the shapes change as well. (b) The amplitude of the P 300 wave of visual evoked potentials is rela...
