Abstract. The ability to imagine scenarios decoupled from the immediate environment supports a wide range of cognitive functions, such as planning, memory,

Mizrachi et al. show that directing attention to bodily sensations, rather than away, promotes more regulated acute inflammatory responses in healthy volunteers, revealing sensory and vagal pathways l...

A central challenge in consciousness research is determining whether people truly experience a stimulus. Here, the authors show that context biases traditional detection measures, whereas continuous r...

Spatial attention controls the information people become aware of and, in turn, incorporate into simplified perceptual representations for use in multi-step planning.

Sensory horizons and the functions of conscious vision - Volume 49

Neuroscience of Consciousness (NCON) is a peer-reviewed, fully open access journal that provides a unique forum for the interdisciplinary fields of consciousnes

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

Studies in rodents and humans using invasive electrophysiology have established that neural replay is a ubiquitous phenomenon in the brain that is associated with a wide range of cognitive functions, ...

Flexible prioritization in working memory (WM) is supported by neural oscillations in frontal and sensory brain areas, but the roles of different oscillations remain poorly understood. Recordings in h...

Cell Research - A neuronal basis for mental imagery

Children acquire object category representations from their everyday experiences in the first few years of life. What do the inputs to this learning process look like? We analyzed first-person videos ...

In studying primate vision, a large body of work focuses on the first feedforward sweep. During this initial time window, information is thought to pass through ventral stream regions in a stage-like ...

Abstract. A rapidly alternating red and black display known as Ganzflicker induces visual hallucinations that reflect the generative capacity of the visual

Theory and empirical science should be in constant dialogue, but often find it hard to understand one another. Here we describe a graduate-level university course we developed to improve matters. The ...

By definition, episodic memory is a conscious phenomenon. Memory traces reactivated by the hippocampus and reinstated in the sensory cortices need to enter conscious awareness for them to be re-experi...

New UCL-led research reveals a unified explanation for how neural activity shapes blood supply across the entire brain.

Face cells in the macaque inferotemporal cortex are initially able to detect faces and then rapidly switch to a face-specific neural code to discriminate between different face identities.

How sensitive is TDLM really? Can we actually find replay when we know it is present?

The MIT Consciousness Club aims to foster interdisciplinary research on consciousness at MIT and in the broader Boston area by organizing a monthly event featuring an expert talk on consciousness followed by a Q&A session. It is organized by Matthias Michel & Earl Miller as one of the projects of
