In the present study, we tested whether visual singletons remaining outside awareness are processed. Singletons differ by at least one feature from their more homogeneous neighbors. Here, we used backward masking to prevent awareness of shape singleton primes (Experiments 1-4) or color singleton primes (Experiment 5). Masked singleton primes nonetheless produced a congruence effect: Congruent s...

in this essay is trying to study the relation between islam and democracy in model of deep democracy and commmitted democracy. thus, i study this relationin on seven factors of concepts of democracy (political or philosophical), awareness from outside, multi approach to democracy, communinty nd self interaction, communiction, situated self and pluralism, that are beyond of current liberal democ...

alcium just got a promotion. Findings by Caroppo et al. (page 111) reveal that in addition to its many roles inside the cell, Ca 2 ϩ has a distinct extracellular purpose: it acts via a Ca 2 ϩ receptor (CaR) to regulate the function of gastric epithelial cells. It has been known for some time that extracellular Ca 2 ϩ can be sensed by the CaR. The team noted that a Ca 2 ϩ gradient was generated ...

Research on the scope and limits of non-conscious vision can advance our understanding of the functional and neural underpinnings of visual awareness. Here we investigated whether distributed local features can be bound, outside of awareness, into coherent patterns. We used continuous flash suppression (CFS) to create interocular suppression, and thus lack of awareness, for a moving dot stimulu...
