Conscious perception during the attentional blink appears to be a graded rather than an all-or-none phenomenon. In an event-related potential study with 32 participants, detection of face targets was assessed using objective accuracy, subjective visibility ratings, and brain responses. Behavioral results showed a graded pattern of visual awareness, and corresponding graded differences were observed in the N1, N2, and P3 brain components across visibility levels. These findings suggest that conscious perception during the attentional blink can occur in a graded fashion.
