[HTML][HTML] Thalamic contributions to the state and contents of consciousness
Consciousness can be conceptualized as varying along at least two dimensions: the global
state of consciousness and the content of conscious experience. Here, we highlight the …

[HTML][HTML] Are we really unconscious in “unconscious” states? Common assumptions revisited
In the field of consciousness science, there is a tradition to categorize certain states such as
slow-wave non-REM sleep and deep general anesthesia as “unconscious”. While this …

[HTML][HTML] Illusory object recognition is either perceptual or cognitive in origin depending on decision confidence
J Alilović, E Lampers, HA Slagter, S van Gaal - PLoS Biology, 2023 - journals.plos.org
We occasionally misinterpret ambiguous sensory input or report a stimulus when none is
presented. It is unknown whether such errors have a sensory origin and reflect true …

Bistability of prefrontal states gates access to consciousness
Access of sensory information to consciousness has been linked to the ignition of content-
specific representations in association cortices. How does ignition interact with intrinsic …

Identifying content-invariant neural signatures of perceptual vividness
Some conscious experiences are more vivid than others. Although perceptual vividness is a
key component of human consciousness, how variation in this magnitude property is …
