- Reposted by Patxi ElosegiAbsolutely incredible work led by @patxelos.bsky.social and @dsotob.bsky.social - such a compelling case of unconscious perception! Privileged to have been a little part of this 🧠
- Reposted by Patxi ElosegiOur #sEEG study is now published in Nature Communications: rdcu.be/eIkoG! 🧠 Key finding: We discovered neural evidence accumulation for visual perception that's independent of report preparation—recorded from >3000 channels across 3 experiments! #Neuroscience #Consciousness #OpenAccess
- Our new sEEG study is out on BioRxiv: tinyurl.com/4afh3b9n! Using 3 face detection experiments and recording from >3000 channels, we found a neural code that reflected evidence accumulation for conscious perception and perceptual confidence! 👇
- 1/Preprint Alert🔔: Across two experiments plus a computational model, we show the visual system compresses complex scenes into summary statistics that can guide behavior without conscious access to the task-defining features. We term this the Ensemble Blindsight effect.
- 2/ Interest in unconscious perception surged through the 2023, then cooled. One reason: despite many attempts, robust evidence remains elusive once controlling for response-criterion issues—both the subjective criterion and the criterion-content fallacy.
- 3/ Subjective criterion problem: people may report “no experience” if sensory evidence falls below a subjective threshold. A remedy is bias-free designs like two-interval forced choice. Yet prior 2-IFC studies (e.g., Peters & Lau, 2015) found no unconscious perception.
