چکیده
Whether a stimulus is perceived is suggested to depend on the amount or strength of the sensory signal. This idea has received support from a recent study which found that, when neural activation in the frontal eye fields was boosted by magnetic stimulation, the observers' detection performance on a visual task improved.

Here, we review converging evidence revealing dissociations between the contents of perceptual awareness and different...
متن کاملTranscranial magnetic stimulation of the human frontal eye field facilitates visual awareness.
What are the brain mechanisms allowing a stimulus to enter our awareness? Some theories suggest that this process engages resources overlapping with those required for action control, but experimental support for these ideas is still required. Here, we investigated whether the human frontal eye field (FEF), an area known to control eye movements, is involved in visual awareness. Volunteers part...

متن کاملVisual Perception , Awareness and Self - Control : the Brentano - Müller - Lyer illusion
In this paper we present a study on visual perception, awareness and self-control, based on the visual exploration of the classical Brentano-Müller Lyer illusion and of some of its variants. The study has been realized with the help of self-made software designed to analyze eye-tracker recordings. In the case of subjects that have a certain familiarity with visual illusions, although not with a...
