 Hurley considers another class of cases, what she calls Marcel’s (1994) cases. Here subjects are asked to report the appearance of some item in consciousness in three ways at the same time—say, by blinking, pushing a button, and saying, ‘I see it’. Remarkably, in different trials each of these three acts are done without doing the other two. And the question is, What does this imply for unified consciousness? In a case in which the subject pushes the button but neither blinks nor says anything, for example, is the hand-controller aware of the object while the blink-controller and the speech-controller are not? How could the conscious system become fragmented in such a way?
