    "title": "The Standard Theory of Conscious Perception",
    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "In this paper I argue that the prioritization of sensory input by\ntop-down attention is constitutive of and essential to\nconscious perception. Specifically, I argue that top-down\nattention is required to provide informational integration at\nthe level of the subject, which can be contrasted with\nintegration at the level of features and objects. Since the\ninformational content of conscious perception requires\nintegration at the level of the subject, top-down attention is\nnecessary for conscious perception as we know it. I present\nthis argument through a theory, which I call the “Standard\nTheory.” According to this theory, top-down attention brings\nabout subject-level integration for sensory input by\nprioritizing that input with respect to a subject-level standard",
