Abstract A recently proposed model of sensory processing suggests that perceptual experience is updated in discrete steps. We show that the data advanced to support discrete perception are in fact compatible with a continuous account of perception. Physiological and psychophysical constraints, moreover, as well as our awake-primate imaging data, imply that human neuronal networks cannot support discrete updates of perceptual content at the maximal update rates consistent with phenomenology. A more comprehensive approach to understanding the physiology of perception (and experience at large) is therefore called for, and we briefly outline our take on the problem.

为了节省时间：对离散感知的批判

摘要最近提出的感觉处理模型表明，感知体验是在不连续的步骤中更新的。我们表明，先进的数据支持离散感知，实际上与感知的连续性兼容。此外，生理和心理生理方面的限制以及我们清醒的灵长类动物的成像数据都暗示，人类神经网络无法以与现象学一致的最大更新率支持感知内容的离散更新。因此，需要一种更全面的方法来理解感知（和整体经验）的生理学，我们简要概述了我们对该问题的看法。
