Beyond task response–pre-stimulus activity modulates contents of consciousness

G Northoff, F Zilio, J Zhang - Physics of life reviews, 2024 - Elsevier
The current discussion on the neural correlates of the contents of consciousness (NCCc)
focuses mainly on the post-stimulus period of task-related activity. This neglects the …
