Example of unconscious affecting conscious: woman with brain damage that doesn"t allow her to make new memories, doctor shakes hand, no needle, leaves, she doesn"t remember when he comes back in, doctor shakes hand, with needle, leaves, she doesn"t remember when he comes back in but hesitates to shake hand, modular mind, not one portion of the brain serves all types of consciousness, all different types of consciousness are represented by different parts of the brain, consciousness is not a single entity. Input electrode into hold in head: electrode surrounded by neurons that respond to either l or r, event though monkey sees dots are moving r, through stimulating l motion by firing action potentials neurons with electrode, l action potentials outnumber r action potentials & convince the monkey the dots are moving l, neural processing without conscious awareness, blind sight.
