Our new PNAS study shows that bodily self-perception has privileged access to consciousness. While vision and hearing often involve unconscious processing, the sense of one’s own body appears to emerge directly in awareness. See link and thread below.

If vision involves mostly subconscious processing (which sounds reasonable), what does that mean for the importance of evoking visual qualia with visual prostheses for the blind?
