It has been suggested (Block, 2007) that the core neural bases for visual phenomenal consciousness and for access consciousness are located in anatomically separate regions. If this is correct, and if, as Block suggests, the core neural substrate of visual phenomenality is located early in the visual cortex where detailed chromatic information is available, then it would be reasonable to infer that our intuitions of chromatically rich visual phenomenality are plausible. It is furthermore suggested that during perception cognitive access to this chromatic cornucopia is mediated through mereologically superordinate (MS) concepts that regionally characterize both semantic and quantitative integrated properties within complex visual percepts. Such concepts contain much less information than do the particulars that they characterize, implying that the information represented in phenomenal consciousness greatly exceeds the information in the accompanying access consciousness.
有人认为（Block，2007），视觉现象意识和意识通达的核心神经基础位于解剖上分离的区域。如果这是正确的，如果像 Block 所建议的那样，视觉现象性的核心神经基质位于早期的视觉皮层中，在那里可以获得详细的颜色信息，那么可以合理地推断，我们对富含颜色的视觉现象性的直觉是合理的。此外，有人认为，在感知过程中，对这种丰富多彩的颜色的认知通达是通过整体上优先的（MS）概念来实现的，这些概念在复杂的视觉感知中既描述了语义属性，又描述了数量综合属性。这些概念包含的信息量比它们所描述的具体内容要少得多，这意味着在现象意识中所表示的信息大大超过了伴随的意识通达中的信息。
