Perception and awareness after brain damage

Curr Opin Neurobiol. 1994 Apr;4(2):252-5. doi: 10.1016/0959-4388(94)90081-7.

Abstract

Dissociations between perception and awareness of perception are of interest for what they can tell us about the neural correlates of awareness. Recent research in this field has focussed on perception-awareness dissociations in the syndromes of blindsight, covert recognition in two kinds of visual agnosia, and visual neglect.
