There is a fundamental puzzle in understanding our awareness of the visualworld. On one hand, our subjective experience is one of a rich visual world,which we perceive effortlessly. However, when we actually test perception,observers know surprisingly little. A number of tasks, from search, throughinattentional blindness, to change blindness, suggest that there issurprisingly little awareness or perception without attention. Meanwhile,another set of tasks, such as multiple object tracking, dual-task performance,and visual working memory tasks suggest that both attention and working memoryhave low capacity. These two components together - poor perception withoutattention, and greatly limited capacity for attention and memory - imply thatperception is impoverished.  How can we make sense of this awareness puzzle, of the riddle of our richsubjective experience coupled with poor performance on experimental tasks? Isuggest that, looked at in the right way, there is in fact no awareness puzzle.In particular, I will argue that the tasks that show limits are inherentlydifficult tasks, and that there exists a unified explanation for both the richsubjective experience and the apparent limits.

What modern vision science reveals about the awareness puzzle:  Summary-statistic encoding plus decision limits underlie the richness of  visual perception and its quirky failures
