Hidden intentions: Visual awareness prioritizes perceived attention even without eyes or faces

DOI: 10.1016/j.cognition.2021.104901
Abstract: Eye contact is a powerful social signal, and it readily captures attention. Recent work has suggested that direct gaze is prioritized even unconsciously: faces rendered invisible via interocular suppression enter awareness faster when they look… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.cortex.2018.01.005
Abstract: Interoceptive signals, such as the heartbeat, are processed in a network of brain regions including the insular cortex. Recent studies have shown that such signals modulate perceptual and cognitive processing, and that they impact visual… read more here.

Beware the serpent: the advantage of ecologically-relevant stimuli in accessing visual awareness

DOI: 10.1016/j.evolhumbehav.2016.10.004
Abstract: Abstract Snakes and spiders constitute fear-relevant stimuli for humans, as many species have deleterious and even fatal effects. However, snakes provoked an older and thus stronger evolutionary pressure than spiders, shaping the vision of earliest… read more here.

Explaining the gradient: Requirements for theories of visual awareness
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Behavioral and Brain Sciences"
DOI: 10.1017/s0140525x21001874
Abstract: Abstract We propose that any theory of visual awareness must explain the gradient of different awareness measures over experimental conditions, especially when those measures form double dissociations among each other. Theories meeting this requirement must… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/00222895.2023.2168602
Abstract: Abstract Background: the effect of acute exercise on cognition covers almost all stages of information processing, but few studies have focused on visual awareness. Reports on the appearance of faint speed-changes in the perception of… read more here.

Crowding, visual awareness, and their respective neural loci
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Journal of Vision"
DOI: 10.1167/17.5.18
Abstract: In peripheral vision, object identification can be impeded when a target object is flanked by other objects. This phenomenon of crowding has been attributed to basic processes associated with image encoding by the visual system,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1167/jov.22.14.3411
Abstract: Despite the close relationship between visual working memory (VWM) and visual awareness, the question of how these two constructs interact with each other is still under debate. The current study aimed to further address this… read more here.

Spatial attention shifting to fearful faces depends on visual awareness in attentional blink: An ERP study
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Neuropsychologia"
DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.3975502
Abstract: It remains unclear to date whether spatial attention towards emotional faces is contingent on, or independent of visual awareness. To investigate this question, a bilateral attentional blink paradigm was used in which lateralised fearful faces… read more here.

Dissociable Electroencephalograph Correlates of Visual Awareness and Feature-Based Attention

DOI: 10.3389/fnins.2017.00633
Abstract: Background: The relationship between awareness and attention is complex and controversial. A growing body of literature has shown that the neural bases of consciousness and endogenous attention (voluntary attention) are independent. The important role of… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fpsyg.2022.942859
Abstract: Many studies have reported neural correlates of visual awareness across several brain regions, including the sensory, parietal, and frontal areas. In most of these studies, participants were instructed to explicitly report their perceptual experience through… read more here.
