Flickering signals in monkey brains hint at how we become conscious of what we see

So, flickering patterns of activity in monkey brains may offer a new clue to how visual information enters conscious awareness. The signals connect brain activity with the moment an image becomes something the animal is aware of, rather than simply visual input. That does not solve the mystery of consciousness, but it gives researchers a promising way to study how perception and awareness relate. And here's the thing: understanding these processes in monkeys could also help us learn how our own brains make sense of what we see.
