Question?

In the video on embodiment, it is asserted that most thought is unconscious. What individuals consciously see/hear/feel may be unconsciously optimized based on their existing schema before becoming conscious thought. That is, the brain is interpreting the experience rather than the individual understanding a stimulus holistically. What implications does this have for cognitive science, the creation of bias and points of view, and “neuroception”? How does this influence your dissertation research? Explain.
