Multimodal lesion mapping in affective blindsight reveals dual amygdala and superior temporal sulcus contributions to nonconscious emotion processing Open
Affective blindsight, the capacity to discriminate emotional stimuli despite bilateral damage to the primary visual cortex (V1) and without conscious awareness, offers a unique model of non-conscious visual processing. Subcortical pathways…
