procedureVisual perception involves light patterns falling on the retina, which send signals to the visual cortex where upwards of 12 distinct neural modules process edges, color, and movement to build a final dynamic picture.

referenceFrancis Crick and Christof Koch published the paper 'Towards a Neurobiological Theory of Consciousness' in 1990, which aimed to establish consciousness as a subject of scientific inquiry by focusing on visual perception.

claimFrancis Crick and Christof Koch identified visual perception as a useful tool for studying consciousness because the final link in the visual processing chain—consciousness—can be detached from the rest of the process.

claimIn the context of visual perception, bodily extremities are identified as self-specifying structural invariants because they subtend visual angles that cannot be reduced below a certain minimum, unlike non-bodily physical objects.

referenceJames Gibson's theory of visual perception relies on the analysis of optical flow, which is the pattern of movement in the ambient optical array that contains invariant features used to specify the self.

claimCampbell (1994, 2002) and Perry (1986) argue that visual perception represents the locations of objects in monadic terms without presenting the self as the point of origin, a view consistent with rejecting the awareness of the self as an object.

claimThe visual perception of motion requires feedback from the visual motion area (V5) to the primary visual cortex. If this feedback signal is disrupted by a transcranial magnetic stimulation pulse, the subject will not see moving dots. This was demonstrated by Pascual-Leone & Walsh (2001).
