Wild neuroscience alpha from @doristsao:
Your conscious and subconscious visual processing might not be separate brain regions at all.
They're literally timesharing the SAME neural circuitsโneurons rapidly switching between conscious and subconscious states without you noticing.
Basically your brain is running two operating systems on one processor.
This changes everything we thought about how awareness works at the hardware level.
