Levels of processing during non-conscious perception: a critical review of visual masking

TL;DR: It is argued that for a stimulus to reach consciousness, two factors are jointly needed: (i) the input stimulus must have enough strength and (ii) it must receive top-down attention (which can be prevented by drawing attention to another stimulus or task).
Journal ArticleDOI

What is consciousness, and could machines have it?

TL;DR: It is argued that despite their recent successes, current machines are still mostly implementing computations that reflect unconscious processing in the human brain, and the word “consciousness” conflates two different types of information-processing computations in the brain.
Journal ArticleDOI

How rich is consciousness? The partial awareness hypothesis.

TL;DR: It is argued that the empirical evidence for phenomenal consciousness without access is equivocal, resulting either from a confusion between phenomenal and unconscious contents, or from an impression of phenomenally rich experiences arising from illusory contents.
Journal ArticleDOI

Partial Awareness Creates the “Illusion” of Subliminal Semantic Priming

TL;DR: It is argued that the lack of consensus regarding the existence of subliminal semantic processing arises from not taking into account the fact that linguistic stimuli are represented across several processing levels (features, letters, word form) that can independently reach or not reach awareness.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cerebral Bases of Subliminal and Supraliminal Priming during Reading

TL;DR: The results suggest a 2-stage view of conscious access: Relative to masked stimuli, unmasked stimuli elicit increased occipito-temporal activity, thus allowing them to compete for global conscious access and to induce priming in multiple distant areas in the absence of attention.
