The Unfolding Argument: Why Recurrent Processing Cannot Explain Consciousness
Michael Herzog, Adrien Christophe Doerig, Aaron Schurger
Neuroscientific theories aim to explain paradigm cases of consciousness such as masking, binocular rivalry or the transition from dreamless sleep to wakefulness. The most popular theories are based on computational principles. Recurrent processing is a key ...
2018EEG paradigms as a supplemental tool to behavioral assessments of DOC
José del Rocio Millán Ruiz, Andrea Serino, Serafeim Perdikis, Jean-Paul Noel
Introduction Diagnosis and prediction of recovery in the acute phase of disorders of consciousness (DOC) are critical for subsequent medical decisions. However, reliable assessment remains elusive due to the inability of current validated clinical scales t ...
2017Interplay between Narrative and Bodily Self in Access to Consciousness: No Difference between Self- and Non-self Attributes
Olaf Blanke, Andrea Serino, Roy Salomon, Jean-Paul Noel
The construct of the self is conceived as being fundamental in promoting survival. As such, extensive studies have documented preferential processing of self-relevant stimuli. For example, attributes that relate to the self are better encoded and retrieved ...
Frontiers Research Foundation2017Low-level awareness accompanies “unconscious” high-level processing during continuous flash suppression
The scope and limits of unconscious processing are a matter of ongoing debate. Lately, continuous flash suppression (CFS), a technique for suppressing visual stimuli, has been widely used to demonstrate surprisingly high-level processing of invisible stimu ...
Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology2016The time of perception and the perception of time are not identical
Often it is assumed that the time of perception is identical or tightly linked to the perception of time. For example, we can clearly perceive a 20 ms delay of two squares presented one after the other at nearby locations (leading to the percept of apparen ...
2014Agency, gait and self-consciousness
Olaf Blanke, Oliver Alan Kannape
Agency is an important aspect of bodily self-consciousness, allowing us to separate own movements from those induced by the environment and to distinguish own movements from those of other agents. Unsurprisingly, theoretical frameworks for agency such as c ...
2012Modeling the effects of midazolam on cortical and thalamic neurons
Controversy exists regarding the site where anesthetics act in the brain to produce sedation and unconsciousness. Actions in the cerebral cortex and thalamus are likely, although the relative importance of each site is unclear. We used in computo modeling ...
