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.

Explanation / Answer
The cognitive sciences posits the importance of individual thought process as the leading premise in understanding and comprehending an individuals behavior. The cognitive sciences give importance to the conscious more so than the unconscious thought processes of an individual.
Subliminal thought processes have always been a cause of major concern amongst psychologist, and proliferate researches have been conducted in order to understand the concept of subliminal perception.
With the conceptualization of the embodiment hypothesis the purview of cognitive sciences would most definitely observe tectonic shifts.
The understanding of the philosophy branch of naive realism and its antithesis indirect realism would definitely provide greater as well as a fresher insight in to the entire paradigm.
Indirect realism is of the belief that it may not be the 'real' world that we are perceiving through our senses (what naive realism says), but it may veritably be a representation of the world, this is where our biases come into the picture along with neuroception.
