Cheers and thank you to all co-authors who helped collect and analyze data from a whooping 123 participants ! The article actually came out in June, but we felt retroperception deserved proper retromarketing.

Interestingly, this retrospective improvement in word identification was accompanied by better objective detection and better subjective visibility, despite the absence of visual details. Confidence ratings however matched actual performance better.

We found that when the cue was associated with the target (snow ❄️ - sled 🛷) compared to not associated (snow ❄️ - bee 🐝), individuals performed better on word identification but not on case or position-on-screen discrimination.

Meaningless strings of letter-like characters masked a visual word (snow ❄️) then an auditory associative retro-cue (sled 🛷) was presented in each trial -> visual features were first made harder to perceive (masking) then semantic information was boosted (retro-cueing) to favor conscious access

This figure uses schematic brains to visually represent the postulated sequence of brain events associated with our protocol, combining masking and retro-cueing, to alter conscious perception of the visual word "hedgehog".

When a target word is presented in a sequence of masks, it can be processed up to the level of lexical activations (first processing stage).

The masks, which share many low-level visual properties with the target, act by stopping recurrent sensory processing and disrupting the low-level sensory representations of the target (masking). This is what prevents conscious perception of the target word in the first place.

Still, we hypothesize that a contextually congruent auditory retro-cue may bring the target word to consciousness (retro-cueing), by reactivating the latent lexical representation of the past word and hence giving it a second chance to be broadcasted through a fronto-parietal Global Workspace. This would yield conscious access to the word meaning in the absence of associated low-level
information.

The last schematic brain summarizes the outcome of the sequence with a thought bubble saying "i have seen the word hedgehog. I don't know what it looked like."

The Global Workspace Theory of consciousness predicts that the mechanisms for conscious access are largely independent from initial sensory processing. But how independent exactly? This is what we wished to find out.

Suppose you generated a sequence of 100 random numbers. Then one year later, you did it again. Do you think we could predict one sequence from the other? It turns out, we can! Now in press @ JEP:G with @samiyousif.bsky.social @actlab.bsky.social @robbrutledge.bsky.social; osf.io/preprints/ps...
