Some visual input information is only available in the primary visual cortex (V1) and not visible to visual awareness. One such information is regarding which eye sees which visual inputs. However, this information has been observed to guide attentional or gaze shifts, indicating a selection at the very first stage when visual inputs enter visual cortex , and also that this information is then deleted before entering visual awareness .

However, this information has been observed to guide attentional or gaze shifts, indicating a selection at the very first stage when visual inputs enter visual cortex . This information about the eye of origin of visual inputs is then deleted by V2, right after V1 along the visual pathway, since V2 neurons' responses to visual inputs do not depend on from which eye the visual inputs come from .
