π¨ CONSCIOUS AWARENESS CHANGES HOW THE BRAIN HANDLES CONFLICTING INFORMATION
A new study in Journal of Experimental Psychology reveals that when people are unaware of a visual cue, their brain processes it separately from expectations.
But once they become aware, these processes merge, fundamentally altering perception.
Using experiments with visual suppression techniques, researchers found that conscious perception enables overlapping neural networks to integrate sensory input and decision-driven expectations.
This supports the global neuronal workspace theory, which suggests consciousness emerges from integrating top-down and bottom-up processing.
The findings may have implications for neuroscience, cognitive therapy, and even artificial intelligence, offering deeper insights into how awareness shapes decision-making and response to stimuli.
