A central feature of consciousness is the association between external events and subjective experiences of content. These experiences range from low level (detection) to high level (identification). For example, a visual experience may range from seeing something on a computer screen (detection) to seeing the digit 3 (identification). In research, neural processes that correlate with these experiences are called neural correlates of consciousness (NCCs). In vision, a prominent NCC is visual awareness negativity (VAN) that is derived from event-related potentials and occurs about 200 ms after stimulus onset. Previous research suggests that VAN is more sensitive to low-level experiences (detection) than high-level experiences (identification). Because previous results are limited, two preregistered experiments were conducted. Experiment 1 ( N = 30) showed that VAN was similarly sensitive to detection and identification. This was shown for a digit task and for a letter task. Experiment 2 ( N = 28) used the same digit task as in Experiment 1 with two stimulus sizes. Results found identification VAN for both digit sizes, and VAN was unaffected by stimulus size. These results confirm the sensitivity of VAN to both low-level and high-level experiences, consistent with recurrent processing theory. However, results emphasize the limited specificity of VAN in separating between low-level and high-level experiences, suggested by the similarity of VAN in both conditions.
