Description

The Visual (un) conscious and its (dis)contents explores micro-temporal approaches to the study of conscious and non-conscious vision. Micro-temporal periods of analysis can last anything from a few tenths to a few hundredths of a millisecond. Though it is well established that many of the visual stimuli we encounter in everyday life never reach consciousness, the author explores how and why this may happen, and in what circumstances, and what this mightreveal about consciousness itself. Within the book, Professor Breitmeyer also touches on some of the philosophical issues relating to the study of conscious and non-conscious vision.
