Dear author,
There are early works on perceptual set (including the effects that take part pre-consciously) by Külpe, Usnadze, Duncker, Postmen, Gottschaldt, Palmer, Pachella, Dixon, Klein, etc. These authors have published their results from about 1900 to about 1965. I did not notice any reference to any of the listed authors in your paper. Did you consider that research not relevant or did not want to expand your references beyond more recent publications (or is that older research unavailable for you)?
All the best,
Talis Bachmann
Article The Invisible Man: Interpersonal Goals Moderate Inattentiona...
Our article published in peer-reviewed Journal "Communicative & Integrative Biology". A few major points discussed in the paper:
(1) Brain is not the source of consciousness.
(2) Consciousness is ubiquitous in all living organisms, starting from bacteria to human beings.
(3) The individual cells in the multicellular organisms are also individually cognitive entities.
(4) Proposals like “artificial life”, “artificial intelligence”, “sentient machines” and so on are only fairytales because no designer can produce an artifact with the properties like internal teleology (Naturzweck) and formative force (bildende Kraft).
(5) The material origin of life and objective evolution are only misconceptions that biologists must overcome.
