I'm reading through "Consciousness: a very short introduction" and one of the points that the author makes is that these kind of proccesses(object detection) are distributed throughout the brain, and that we have specilized "circuits" for most if not all common tasks we perform on a daily basis. This seems counter intuitive to me, and I presume most people, because it feels that these kind of proccesses are conscious and under my control, when apparently they are not.
