Data bundles
Experiment 1
The primary aim of this experiment was to investigate neural activity in response to stimuli that are consciously perceived. It was designed to manipulate two key factors: the relevance of the stimulus to the task and stimulus duration.

Experiment 2
This experiment investigated neural activity in response to physically identical stimuli that are reported as seen versus reported as unseen. We developed a novel video game paradigm in which faces and objects were embedded in an attentionally demanding task, such that they were sometimes consciously perceived and sometimes not.
