Dehaene reviews unconscious brain processing of various forms: subliminal perception, Édouard Claparède's pinprick experiment, blindsight, hemispatial neglect, subliminal priming, unconscious binding (including across sensory modalities, as in the McGurk effect), etc. Dehaene discusses a debate over whether meaning can be processed unconsciously and concludes based on his own research that ...

Scientists and psychologists tell us we use only about TEN PERCENT of our brain power." [6] This became a particular "pet idea" [7] of science fiction writer and editor John W. Campbell, who wrote in a 1932 short story that "no man in all history ever used even half of the thinking part of his brain". [8]
Many neuroscientists believe that the human mind is largely an emergent property of the information processing of its neuronal network. [9]Neuroscientists have stated that important functions performed by the mind, such as learning, memory, and consciousness, are due to purely physical and electrochemical processes in the brain and are governed by applicable laws.
Consciousness seems to be intrinsically associated with the thalamus and cortex, even if the extent to which this true is argued among scientists. Damage to the brainstem or thalamus can abolish consciousness, while damage to the sensory cortex appears to delete specific conscious features such as color vision , visual motion, conscious ...
