WE DISCOVERED SOMETHING TOTALLY UNEXPECTED ABOUT THE NEURAL STRUCTURE OF CONSCIOUSNESS

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

Researchers have discovered a signal deep in the brain that richly represents a stimulus people are unaware of. This finding makes it possible to understand how a pattern of neural activity accesses consciousness. There are clear signals that correspond to both what is and isn't conscious. This makes it possible to follow both sets of footprints and track down the full machine for generating conscious percepts.
