These effects reveal, among other things, the capacities of involuntary processes. In laboratory tasks, involuntary cognitions of various kinds (e.g., mental imagery) have been elicited by external stimuli. We discuss the implications of this new paradigm for the study of internally-generated conscious contents. This intriguing datum requires further investigation. Regarding inter-content interactions, the continuous hum and object name seem to co-exist simultaneously in consciousness. One could hypothesize that subvocalizations occurred because of the pauses between the intended speech sounds, but this is inconsistent with the observation that comparable results arose even when participants subvocalized a continuous, unbroken hum ("daaa….") throughout the trial. Involuntary subvocalizations of object names still arose on over 80% of the trials. This internally generated content is self-generated and intentional. To investigate this possibility, in one condition, participants were instructed to reiteratively subvocalize a speech sound ("da, da, da") throughout the trial. Can the effect survive if one intentionally generates a competing (internally-generated) conscious content? If so, this would suggest that intentional and unintentional contents can co-exist simultaneously in consciousness in interesting ways. Research has revealed that it is difficult to suppress such subvocalizations, which occur on over 80% of the trials. Participants indicated whenever they involuntarily subvocalized the object name. Each object was presented for 10 s on a screen. To illuminate these phenomena, in a new experimental paradigm, participants were instructed to not subvocalize the names of visually-presented objects. Although understudied, the latter may provide unique insights into the nature of consciousness. The study goes on to present four strategies to achieve blockchain success, which include an “evolution, not revolution” approach and contributing to “building an industry ecosystem”.The conscious field includes not only representations about external stimuli (e.g., percepts), but also conscious contents associated with internal states, such as action-related intentions (e.g., urges).
