Recent experimental studies and theoretical models have begun to address the challenge of
establishing a causal link between subjective conscious experience and measurable …

Converging evidence from electrophysiological, physiological and anatomical studies
suggests that abnormalities in the synchronized oscillatory activity of neurons may have a …

WINNER OF THE 2014 BRAIN PRIZE From the acclaimed author of Reading in the Brain
and How We Learn, a breathtaking look at the new science that can track consciousness …

There is as yet no consensus concerning the neural basis of perception and how it operates
at a mechanistic level. We found that Ca2+ activity in the apical dendrites of a subset of layer …

As we start to fall asleep, the sense of self slackens. Images float by, and our awareness
becomes progressively absorbed in them. The impression of being a bounded individual …

Time and space are the basic building blocks of nature. As a unique existent in nature, our
brain exists in time and takes up space. The brain's activity itself also constitutes and …

Out of all the human senses, touch is the one that is most often unappreciated, and
undervalued. Yet, the surface of the human body, the skin, is actually one huge sheet of …

Of the many brain events evoked by a visual stimulus, which are specifically associated with
conscious perception, and which merely reflect non-conscious processing? Several recent …

The amplitude of α-frequency band (8–14Hz) activity in the human electroencephalogram is
suppressed by eye opening, visual stimuli and visual scanning, whereas it is enhanced …

Alpha oscillations are ubiquitous in the brain, but their role in cortical processing remains a
matter of debate. Recently, evidence has begun to accumulate in support of a role for alpha …
