Page "Consciousness" Paragraph 26

Rosenthal cites several empirical paradigms in support of his theory.

Blind-sight is one.

This is a phenomenon that occurs in individuals with damage to the visual center of their brains.

These individuals are often capable of relatively simple forms of visual awareness ( like being able to spatially locate an x in a picture ) but do not report anything concerning what it is like to experience these visual stimuli.

Rosenthal claims that this can only be explained as a perception which the subject is not aware of experiencing.
