Protocol for investigating the warping of spatial experience across the blind spot to contrast predictions of the Integrated Information Theory and Predictive Processing accounts of consciousness.

PLoS One 2026 Clement Abbatecola, Bernard Marius ’t Hart, Belén M. Montabes De la Cruz et al.

We investigate the subjective experience of space around the visual blind spot area, the cortical representation of which is missing feedforward connectivity from one eye. We performed these experiments as part of an adversarial collaboration to test contrasting theories of consciousness; Integrated Information Theory (IIT), Predictive Processing Active Inference (AI), and Predictive Processing...

Retrospective Attention Gates Discrete Conscious Access to Past Sensory Stimuli.

PLoS One February 10, 2016 Louis Thibault, Ronald Van den Berg, Patrick Cavanagh et al.

Cueing attention after the disappearance of visual stimuli biases which items will be remembered best. This observation has historically been attributed to the influence of attention on memory as opposed to subjective visual experience. We recently challenged this view by showing that cueing attention after the stimulus can improve the perception of a single Gabor patch at threshold levels of...
