TL;DR: It is suggested that OKN can be used as an indicator of conscious perception in binocular rivalry even in Parkinson’s disease patients in whom impaired manual dexterity may render button-press reports less reliable.

Modelling the simultaneous encoding/serial experience theory of the perceptual moment: a blink of meta-experience
TL;DR: In this paper , the meta-experiential blink data is modelled using the concept of self-observation, providing model fits to behavioural and electroencephalogram responses in the reSTST model.

TL;DR: In this paper, a comparison between subjective visibility and decisional confidence revealed that visibility relied more on the strength of sensory evidence about features of the stimulus irrelevant to the identification judgment and less on evidence for the identification judgement.
