The phi phenomenon and color phi experiments show subjects report a single coherent percept whose content is retrospectively shaped by later stimuli, consistent with extensional integration rather than contradiction.

Color phi experiment(as used in cognitive science and philosophy of perception): A psychology experiment where researchers flash different colored lights in sequence and ask people what they see, revealing how the brain constructs our sense of color and motion over time.
Extensional integration(as used in cognitive science): The brain's process of combining different sensory experiences across time into one unified, seamless perception, rather than keeping them separate.
Percept(used in philosophy of perception): The raw sensory experience or impression your brain receives directly from your senses—like the redness you see when looking at an apple, before you think about what it means.
Phi phenomenon(as used in perception studies): The visual illusion where two separate, quickly flashing lights appear to be a single light moving between them, even though nothing actually moves.
