 Let us describe the case a bit more precisely. On the standard account, a brain bisection patient could be conscious that both TAX and ABLE are being seen. But nothing in the patient would be conscious that both items are being seen on the basis of seeing them. For at least one of the two items, one of the two centres of consciousness could have only the same kind of behavioural and other ‘outside’ evidence that any observer of the situation could have.
