New study sheds light on how our brains perceive -- or fail to perceive -- what we see

Saturday, November 18, 2023

SEATTLE, Nov. 13, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- A new study out today in Nature Neuroscience on visual masking sheds light on how we unsee things and points to how conscious perception is generated in the brain.

Key Points: 
  • The study narrows down the parts of the brain responsible for awareness of the world around us.
  • In a phenomenon known as visual masking, individuals don't consciously perceive an image if another image is shown in quick succession.
  • Human perception (or lack thereof) and mouse perception of this specific visual masking illusion turned out to be very similar.
  • That result means that conscious perception is happening either in the visual cortex or in higher areas of the cortex downstream of it.
