The Relationship between Attention and Consciousness
- Psychology
- 2011
The relationship between attention and consciousness is a matter of importance and of intense debate among scholars. Many psychologists and brain scientists try to link these two brain processes to…
Consciousness and Attention: On Sufficiency and Necessity
- Psychology, BiologyFront. Psychology
- 2010
Psychophysical and neurophysiological evidence for a dissociation between top-down attention and consciousness point to a functional dissociation: attention as analyzer and consciousness as synthesizer.

Through Attention to Consciousness
- Psychology
- 2008
There is presently a vigorous ongoing debate about the relation between attention and consciousness. This is being fuelled by results from experimental paradigms which probe various features of the…
Varieties of attention and of consciousness: evidence from neuropsychology
- Psychology, Biology
- 2008
These findings strongly suggest that exogenous attention is a necessary condition for primary visual consciousness to emerge, and the integration of several sources of evidence is needed to further explore the taxonomy of these processes and to identify their neural correlates.
Opposing effects of attention and consciousness on afterimages
- Psychology, BiologyProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
- 2010
It is shown that selective attention and visual consciousness have opposite effects: paying attention to the grating decreases the duration of its afterimage, whereas consciously seeing thegrating increases the afterimage duration.
Attentional Routes to Conscious Perception
- Psychology, BiologyFront. Psychology
- 2012
Evidence is shown that distinct sorts of spatial attention can have different effects on visual conscious perception, and Fronto-parietal networks important for spatial attention constitute plausible neural substrates for the interactions between exogenous spatial attention and conscious perception.

Against the View that Consciousness and Attention are Fully Dissociable
- Psychology, PhilosophyFront. Psychology
- 2012
In this paper, I will try to show that the idea that there can be consciousness without some form of attention, and high-level top-down attention without consciousness, originates from a failure to…

Applying measures of neural integration and complexity, together with an analysis of extensive neurological data, leads to a testable proposal-the dynamic core hypothesis-about the properties of the neural substrate of consciousness.
Attentional modulation of sensorimotor processes in the absence of perceptual awareness
- Psychology, BiologyProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
- 2006
Evidence is provided by showing that attentional cueing can modulate the behavioral response to invisible stimuli in a way that is distinct from enhancing their visibility, and the pattern of attentional influence on priming could not be explained by attentional modulation of the prime’s perceptual strength but was predicted by a direct attentional Influence on the nonconscious priming process itself.
The zombie within

Although many of Freud's ideas, involving penis envy, the Oedipus complex, the Id and other fanciful creations, are mere myths that lack objective standing, science has provided credible evidence for the existence of sensorimotor systems in the primate brain that function in the absence of consciousness.
