We review the central tenets and neuroanatomical basis of the global neuronal workspace
(GNW) hypothesis, which attempts to account for the main scientific observations regarding …

Over the last years, a surge of empirical studies converged on complexity-related measures
as reliable markers of consciousness across many different conditions, such as sleep …

Normal brain function requires interactions between spatially separated, and functionally
specialized, macroscopic regions, yet the directionality of these interactions in large-scale …

For several years it has been argued that neural synchronisation is crucial for cognition. The
idea that synchronised temporal patterns between different neural groups carries …

Prominent theories of consciousness emphasise different aspects of neurobiology, such as
the integration and diversity of information processing within the brain. Here, we combine …

Complex human cognition arises from the integrated processing of multiple brain systems.
However, little is known about how brain systems and their interactions might relate to, or …

The biological basis of consciousness is one of the most challenging and fundamental
questions in 21st century science. A related pursuit aims to identify the neural correlates and …

The timing of activity across brain regions can be described by its phases for oscillatory
processes, and is of crucial importance for brain functioning. The structure of the brain …

Background The neural correlates of anesthetic-induced unconsciousness have yet to be
fully elucidated. Sedative and anesthetic states induced by propofol have been studied …

Accurately measuring the neural correlates of consciousness is a grand challenge for
neuroscience. Despite theoretical advances, developing reliable brain measures to track the …
