Perception-action Dissociations as a Window into Consciousness.
Journal of cognitive neuroscience July 1, 2024 Marisa Carrasco, Miriam Spering
This Perspectives paper argues that experimental protocols examining qualitative differences between perception and action offer important insights into conscious and unconscious visual processing and their neural correlates. The authors present research using human eye movements as a sensitive measure of unconscious visual processing. They also caution that the growing use of oculomotor and pupillary responses in consciousness research should not lead researchers to infer conscious perception solely from no-report protocols, as these measures can reflect unconscious processing as well.
