Does this paragraph seem a little out of place? Whats this about epistemic perception? Arn't we talking about sensory perception in this paper?
Reviewer 1 point 8 complains:
On page 15 [Lehar] shows that he fails to distinguish between epistemic and non-epistemic perception. He says "for qualia are the carriers of the information experienced in perception". Well not always. In associative agnosia a patient can see objects perfectly well but does not know what they are. In other words he/she fails to gather information from the qualia (better sensations). In blindsight the opposite is the case. Here the subject cannot see the object but can gather correct visual information about it. What this implies is that in these cases the brain mechanisms mediating the last stages of conscious seeing are different from the brain mechanisms mediating the extraction of information from the visual inflow.
For the benefit of this reviewer therefore I have to clarify that the scope of this particular theory is restricted to sensory perception, and does not encompass epistemic perception.
