Abstract
Understanding how guessing, cueing, and response bias interact with residual sensitivity is key to interpreting correctly the behavioral responses that are taken as measures of visual performance and awareness in blindsight. It is crucial for determining the extent to which post-lesion recovery of function is due to changes in decisional processes, as opposed to improved sensitivity due to reorganization of early visual circuitry.
期刊介绍:
Cerebral Cortex publishes papers on the development, organization, plasticity, and function of the cerebral cortex, including the hippocampus. Studies with clear relevance to the cerebral cortex, such as the thalamocortical relationship or cortico-subcortical interactions, are also included.
The journal is multidisciplinary and covers the large variety of modern neurobiological and neuropsychological techniques, including anatomy, biochemistry, molecular neurobiology, electrophysiology, behavior, artificial intelligence, and theoretical modeling. In addition to research articles, special features such as brief reviews, book reviews, and commentaries are included.
