testing Higher Order Representation of a Representation Theory
This branch of the ARC-FoHo project uses a change blindness paradigm and computational neuroimaging approaches (fMRI) in healthy adult humans to evaluate whether higher-order representations contain the content of conscious experience of visual stimuli.
We have published a behavioral paper on the slow change blindness phenomenon:
Haley G. Frey, Lua Koenig, Ned Block, Biyu J. He, and Jan W. Brascamp. Memory representations during slow change blindness. Journal of Vision. 2024 Sep; 24(9):8, 1–18.
We have also published a methodological paper describing the novel paradigm used in the above study:
Haley Frey, Lua Koenig, Biyu J. He, and Jan W. Brascamp. A novel, semi-automatic procedure for generating slow change blindness stimuli. Neuroscience of Consciousness. 2024(1): niae004.
Our fMRI study is currently ongoing.
