 The discussion that follows will highlight specific areas of cortex including the prefrontal cortex that will figure in discussions of confidence  (section 2.2),  the global neuronal workspace  (section 3.1)  and higher order theories  (section 3.3);  the dorsal visual stream that projects into parietal cortex and the ventral visual stream that projects into temporal cortex including visual areas specialized for processing places, faces, and word forms (see sections  2.6  on places,  4.1  on visual agnosia and  5.3.3  on seeing words); primary somatosensory cortex S1 (see section  5.3.2  on tactile sensation); and early visual areas in the occipital cortex including the primary visual area, V1 (see sections  4.2  on blindsight and  5.2  on binocular rivalry) and a motion sensitive area V5, also known as the middle temporal area (MT;  section 5.3.1  on seeing motion). Beneath the cortex is the subcortex, divided into the forebrain, midbrain, and hindbrain, which covers many regions although our discussion will largely touch on the superior colliculus and the thalamus, two areas that play an important role in visual processing.
