Awareness

In philosophy and psychology, awareness is the perception or knowledge of something.[1] The concept is often synonymous with consciousness;[2] however, one can be aware of something without being explicitly conscious of it (e.g., blindsight).[1]

The states of awareness are also associated with the states of experience, so that the structure represented in awareness is mirrored in the structure of experience.[3]
