Neural Correlates of the Conscious Perception of Visual Location Lie Outside Visual Cortex
Main text (Current Biology 29, 4036–4044.e1–e4; December 2, 2019) We mistakenly included a classification accuracy color scale at the center of Figures 4 and 6 between panels A and B. As stated in the legends, the figures present the regions reaching significance; therefore, the color scale should not be there. Also, in the fourth line of the left column of page 4, “group accuracy” should be replaced by “group significance.” These errors do not affect the analysis or the conclusions of the paper.
