The widely used electroencephalogram-based indices for depth-of-anesthesia monitoring
assume that the same index value defines the same level of unconsciousness for all …

The emergence of a unified cognitive moment relies on the coordination of scattered
mosaics of functionally specialized brain regions. Here we review the mechanisms of large …

Unconsciousness is a fundamental component of general anesthesia (GA), but
anesthesiologists have no reliable ways to be certain that a patient is unconscious. To …

'Working Memory, Thought, and Action'is the magnum opus of one of the most influential
cognitive psychologists of the past 50 years. This new volume on the model he created (with …

In this primer, we give a review of the inverse problem for EEG source localization. This is
intended for the researchers new in the field to get insight in the state-of-the-art techniques …

Background Mechanisms of anesthesia-induced loss of consciousness remain poorly
understood. Resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging allows investigating …

Global workspace (GW) theory emerged from the cognitive architecture tradition in cognitive
science. Newell and co-workers were the first to show the utility of a GW or “blackboard” …

Consciousness might help to mobilize and integrate brain functions that are otherwise
separate and independent. Evidence for this 'conscious access hypothesis' was described …

The neurophysiological mechanisms by which anesthetic drugs cause loss of
consciousness are poorly understood. Anesthetic actions at the molecular, cellular, and …

Steady-state evoked potentials can be recorded from the human scalp in response to
auditory stimuli presented at rates between 1 and 200 Hz or by periodic modulations of the …
