Under the most lenient criterion, GS held for 56% of the responses and DD for 52%.
Therefore, all these cases did not satisfy the FIC under the lenient criterion.
In other words, the FIC did not hold for all these cases even under the lenient criterion.
For the cases in which the FIC holds for at least the lenient criterion, one can then proceed to investigate the transport of magnetic flux Φ by DFs.
Therefore, under the strict criterion, all seven DFs did not satisfy the FIC whereas under the lenient criterion, the FIC is invalid for only two DFs.
Out of these, FIC was not satisfied for 9 of them under the lenient criterion and for 17 of them under the strict criterion.
Therefore, under the strict criterion, DFs at P1, P2, and P4 did not satisfy the FIC; and under the lenient criterion, all DFs satisfied the FIC.
The result shows that out of 18 cases, the FIC is invalid for 9 cases under the lenient criterion of CR greater than 2 and for 17 cases under the strict criterion of CR greater than 0.5.
Given the variability of estimates of CEs and the lack of a clear statistical definition for the equality between two CEs, we applied several criteria: we counted responses where the difference between two CEs was either ±2% (the strictest criterion), ±4%, ±6%, or ±8% (the most lenient criterion) of the range of lottery outcomes.
The strict criterion is when the deviation between these two values differs by more than 50%% of the (V × B) y component within the DF interval and the lenient criterion (i.e., giving more favorable statistics for DFs with FIC satisfied) is when it is twice the value.
Thus, because selecting correct responses is a too lenient criterion to ensure that perceptual awareness is already stabilized, it would be important to measure directly the degree of monkey's perceptual awareness, an issue that however is theoretically far from obvious [35], [44].
