However, it is becoming clear that the cortex is not a. E. g. visual system can be tricked by visual illusions. Knowing that you were tricked doesn"t make illusion disappear illusion can leave behavior unaffected (visuo-motor process still accurate despite faulty perception) stimulus that are not consciously perceived can affect behavior (masking stimulus) Most striking evidence for isolation of function from consciousness.
