  • What are the different hypotheses that have been posited about visual consciousness? What is the evidence supporting each?
  • What hypotheses does the author present on color diversity (variability)? How is color diversity involved in visual consciousness?
  • What is subliminal estimation of color diversity? How does it differ from conscious estimation?
  • Describe the Sterling Paradigm. How is it involved with color encoding?
