Response to comment on ‘Criterion placement threatens the construct validity of neural measures of consciousness’ by Johannes Jacobus Fahrenfort, Philippa A Johnson, Niels Kloosterman, Timo Stein, Simon van Gaal

“…Several findings from our studies are novel, such as the fact that criterion effects reveal themselves as over- (or under-) estimations of both conscious and unconscious processing in tandem, and that this has tangible implications when analyzing real neural data. We also challenge the suggestion that our experimental manipulations are (too) radical compared to signal-to-noise variations that occur naturally between experiments.…”
