Consciousness refers specifically to the subjective state of awareness of one's own existence, thoughts, sensations, and surroundings.

2 · Recall · Medium · neural correlates of consciousness

In studies of binocular rivalry where distinct stimuli flash at different frequencies to each eye, what does brain recording typically reveal?

Tap an answer. The explanation will appear here, including why each wrong option is wrong.

Not quite. C is correct.

During binocular rivalry, conscious awareness of an image is accompanied by broad, coordinated activation across visual and frontoparietal brain regions corresponding to that specific stimulus.

A: why it's wrongConscious perception of rivalry stimuli engages widespread networks across both hemispheres, not solely the left hemisphere.

A: why it's wrongConscious perception of rivalry stimuli engages widespread networks across both hemispheres, not solely the left hemisphere.

B: why it's wrongNeural correlates of consciousness are not confined solely to the right hemisphere during visual rivalry.

A: why it's wrongConscious perception of rivalry stimuli engages widespread networks across both hemispheres, not solely the left hemisphere.

C: why it's wrongWhen a stimulus becomes consciously perceived during binocular rivalry, neural activity matching that stimulus spreads across extensive cortical networks.

3 · Analysis · Hard · unconscious processing and spatial neglect

Which of the following is NOT an example of unconscious perception?

Tap an answer. The explanation will appear here, including why each wrong option is wrong.

Not quite. C is correct.

Dressing only the right side simply shows the neglect deficit. Every other option shows information that was not consciously perceived still affecting perception or behavior.

A: why it's wrongThe face was not consciously registered, yet it influenced a motor response. That is unconscious perception.

B: why it's wrongThis is repetition priming. Earlier exposure shapes later responses without conscious recollection, so it is unconscious processing.

A: why it's wrongThe face was not consciously registered, yet it influenced a motor response. That is unconscious perception.

C: why it's wrongThis shows only the neglect deficit itself: the left side is ignored. No unperceived information is shown influencing his experience or behavior.

A: why it's wrongThe face was not consciously registered, yet it influenced a motor response. That is unconscious perception.

D: why it's wrongThe left half is not consciously attended, as his crossing-out shows. Yet it still contributes to his perception of a complete circle, so information from the neglected side is processed unconsciously.
