But the question is whether the conscious mind, i.e. the self, can be fully aware of more than one single object. So let's say I'm tracking 7 objects. Can I actually consciously see them all, or is it just that the unconsious "buffer" tracks 7, and I quickly think about each one for a few milliseconds at a time?
