The model is described in a previous paper where evidence is restricted to psychological findings. In the present paper evidence is taken from physiological findings derived from experiences with event-related brain potentials and from studies of agnosia caused by brain lesions. The hypothesis that two separate modes of consciousness are involved in human perception has obtained increased credibility.
