Blindsight patients lack conscious visual perception yet perform visual tasks effectively, suggesting many animals may similarly rely on non-conscious vision. Here, we discuss how to investigate visual consciousness in miniature brains, using bees as a case study. This new endeavor can reveal the minimal neural requirements for visual awareness.

Abstract
Blindsight patients lack conscious visual perception yet perform visual tasks effectively, suggesting many animals may similarly rely on non-conscious vision. Here, we discuss how to investigate visual consciousness in miniature brains, using bees as a case study. This new endeavor can reveal the minimal neural requirements for visual awareness.
