Publisher Summary In person perception, the interpersonal dimension is useful, as is implicated in communicating personal contents. The problem of consciousness is intimately connected with that of knowledge based on subjective experience and perception by means of which it is mediated. This chapter presents the theories that incorporate the subject–object relationships into a comprehensive observational framework. They also emphasize the coherence of subject and environment. The perceiver is viewed as an active subject; the rhythmic properties of all living phenomena are highlighted. The long-term effect of “selective visual exposure” in the early stages of development upon functional cell characteristics, interpretable as a neuronal substrate of fixation, are demonstrated in animals as well as in humans. The chapter also discusses the capacity of the sensory system for processing subliminal stimuli and the related methodological issues of stimulus presentation.
