This has been difficult to explain because so many neural pathways conventionally associated with conscious perception (including primary sensory areas) remain intact in many patients.

This form of art was created to test the limits of the conscious perception of the viewer.

According to a popular theory, gamma waves may be implicated in creating the unity of conscious perception (the binding problem).

As there are numerous thalamocortical loops throughout the cortex, this process takes place simultaneously across many different regions of the brain during conscious perception.

Auditory rhythms rapidly entrain motor responses into stable steady synchronization states below and above conscious perception thresholds.
