Now, the really interesting part is that, these non-occipital signals are enough to help people perform tasks at above-chance levels, but not enough for them actually be aware. Nobody knows for sure why.
Without the non-occipital signals, are the visual cortex signals alone enough to perform tasks?
- KingMob 14y agoOh, certainly. If the signal is reaching your occipital/visual cortex, then you have the experience of seeing. There would be other deficits (weakened orienting responses, cross-modal congruency effects, diminished RT to dangerous/frightening stimuli), but nothing quite as major as no longer "seeing".
