Trains, planes, and brains: attention and consciousness

Research output: Contribution to journal › Editorial › peer-review

Abstract

O'Brien & Opie believe that some mental representations are evoked by stimuli to which a person is attending, and other mental representations are evoked by stimuli to which attention was not paid. I argue that this is the classical view of consciousness; yet this is the view which they wish to challenge.
