Abstract

Fleming and Michel propose that conscious perception is ‘slow’, with a delay of 350-450ms. But this claim is premature. Here, we will show that the speed of conscious perception remains unresolved. Examining evidence from vision and language research, we will explore how this fundamental question may ultimately be answered, to test the validity of this foundational claim.
