Recent advances in the study of visual cognition and consciousness have dealt primarily
with steady-state properties of visual processing, with little attention to its dynamic aspects …

Visual control of our actions can be unconscious as well as conscious. For example, when a
pedestrian steps onto a street and then suddenly steps back, to avoid being hit by an …

In this chapter, we will examine dynamical aspects of conscious visual perception related to
briefly presented stimuli, and their possible neural underpinnings. The time course of the …

Vision is our primary sense, and seeing is accompanied by visual awareness or subjective
experience of the visual world around us. Changes in the visual world often lead to changes …

A fundamental unsettled dispute concerns how fast the brain generates subjective visual
experiences. Both early visual cortical activation and later activity in fronto-parietal global …

This book presents an interdisciplinary overview of the main facts and theories that guide
contemporary research on visual perception. While the chapters cover virtually all areas of …

From which regions of the brain do conscious representations of visual stimuli emerge? This
is an important but controversial issue in neuroscience because some studies have reported …

Consciousness is a fascinating field of neuroscience research where questions often
outnumber the answers. We advocate an open and optimistic approach where converging …

The immediacy and directness of conscious experience belies the complexity of the
underlying neural mechanisms, which remain incompletely understood. This chapter …

Psychological and neuroscience approaches have promoted much progress in elucidating
the cognitive and neural mechanisms that underlie phenomenal visual awareness during …
