Abstract. Conscious experience depends on the coordinated activity of neural processes that span multiple scales: from synapses to whole-brain dynamics. A recently introduced measure, dynamical indepe...

Eye contact is one of the most potent social signals, but it remains unclear how little visual input is sufficient to register direct gaze, and whether such registration requires conscious awareness. ...

Perceptual multistability, observed across species and sensory modalities, offers valuable insights into numerous cognitive functions and dysfunctions. For instance, differences in temporal dynamics a...

Abstract. The sense of owning one’s body is essential for distinguishing internal from external sensations. Research using bodily illusions shows that this

During sleep, the human brain transitions to a ‘sentinel processing mode’, enabling the continued processing of environmental stimuli despite the absence of consciousness. We employed advanced informa...

Conscious awareness refers to the subjective experience of perceiving, thinking, and feeling and the ability to report these experiences. These per...

The brain’s sense of “this is my body” is tightly bound to conscious awareness – far more than many theories assume.

Nature Communications - The authors present a multicenter database to investigate the neural correlates of dreaming, including physiological, behavioral and experiential data. This database could...

This Perspective article proposes a neurodynamical model of intuition as a fast, embodied pathfinding mechanism shaped by evolution. Drawing on the free-energy principle and metastability, it explores...

A global hub for theories of consciousness—authenticated by leading theorists, designed for professional consciousness communities, and open to all

Memantine selectively improves neural decoding of attended illusory contours, revealing NMDA receptor-dependent enhancement of feedback processing in human visual perception.

Join Lucie Cave and a panel of experts—including Susie Pearl, Dr. Andreas Canales-Johnson, Deirdre Parsons, and Nigel Barlow—as they explore the link between cr

INTRODUCTION Alzheimer's disease (AD) disrupts human sleep architecture more severely than normal aging. However, it remains unclear how AD changes oscillatory neural activity during sleep, and whet...
