Conscious Visual Perception Occurs Outside The Visual System - Science Daily

Do you see what I see? Probably not since consciousness as we know it is subjective and eggheads like Sirui Liu are trying to puzzle out the mystery. For example are you really seeing what's in the real world, because what's seen has already been heavily processed by the brain before it hits the frontal lobes. The frontal lobes where decisions happen? Yep, and it makes one wonder how much we're choosing to see and not see. Which may explain why Open-Minded People Have A Different Visual Perception Of Reality, according to Olivia Goldhill. Perhaps optimists are open to new experiences, or just accentuate the positive. But what about the lesser brethren? Is Consciousness Unique To Humans? William R. Klemm addresses the thorny topic, grazing panpsychism after a fashion, after a problematic study suggests "No" with some pretty shoddy science. Keeping those heady topics in mind, you're primed to apprehend Dave Halperin's analysis of the book Invisible Companions by J. Bradley Wigger. Something weird's afoot when folks see what isn't there, know it isn't there, but get twisted when someone else says their friend is imaginary. (CS)
