A sensorimotor account of vision and visual consciousness-Authors' Response-Acting out our sensory experience

TL;DR: In this article, the authors propose that the brain produces an internal representation of the world, and the activation of this internal representation is assumed to give rise to the experience of seeing, but it leaves unexplained how the existence of such a detailed internal representation might produce visual consciousness.

To See or not to See: The Need for Attention to Perceive Changes in Scenes

TL;DR: The authors showed that when brief blank fields are placed between alternating displays of an original and a modified scene, a striking failure of perception is induced and identification of changes becomes extremely difficult, even when changes are large and made repeatedly.
Journal ArticleDOI

Solving the "real" mysteries of visual perception: The world as an outside memory.

TL;DR: This paper discusses several defects of vision and the classical theories of how they are overcome, and suggests an alternative approach, in which the outside world is considered as a kind of external memory store which can be accessed instantaneously by casting one's eyes (or one's attention) to some location.
Journal ArticleDOI

Change-Blindness As a Result of 'Mudsplashes'

TL;DR: It is found that change-blindness can occur even when the disruption does not cover or obscure the changes, and is potentially important in driving, surveillance or navigation, as dangerous events occurring in full view can go unnoticed if they coincide with even very small, apparently innocuous, disturbances.
