Response to commentaries on 'hard criteria for empirical theories of consciousness'

Michael Herzog, Adrien Christophe Doerig, Aaron Schurger

In consciousness research, we have a very large number of theories, which exceeds by far the number of theories in other fields. We recently presented a set of criteria for evaluating and comparing theories of consciousness, and then applied the criteria t ...

PyFrac: A planar 3D hydraulic fracture simulator

Brice Tanguy Alphonse Lecampion, Haseeb Zia

Fluid driven fractures propagate in the upper earth crust either naturally or in response to engineeredfluid injections. The quantitative prediction of their evolution is critical in order to better understandtheir dynamics as well as to optimize their cre ...

Perceptual grouping leads to objecthood effects in the Ebbinghaus illusion

Michael Herzog, Aline Françoise Cretenoud, Einat Rashal

The Ebbinghaus illusion is argued to be a product of low-level contour interactions or a higher cognitive comparison process. We examined the effect of grouping on the illusion by manipulating objecthood, i.e., the degree to which an object is a cohesive p ...

Torso-mounted Vibrotactile Interface to Experimentally Induce Illusory Own-body Perceptions

Olaf Blanke, Hannes Bleuler, Giulio Rognini, Masayuki Hara

Recent developments in virtual reality and robotic technologies have allowed investigating the behavioural and brain mechanisms that grounds self-consciousness in the multisensory (e.g. vision and touch) and sensorimotor processing of bodily signals. Yet, ...

The unfolding argument: Why IIT and other causal structure theories cannot explain consciousness

Michael Herzog, Kathryn Hess Bellwald, Adrien Christophe Doerig, Aaron Schurger

How can we explain consciousness? This question has become a vibrant topic of neuroscience research in recent decades. A large body of empirical results has been accumulated, and many theories have been proposed. Certain theories suggest that consciousness ...

Multisensory perceptual awareness: Categorical or graded?

Olaf Blanke, Nathan Quentin Faivre, Jean-Paul Noel

Neural evidence suggests that mechanisms associated with conscious access (i.e., the ability to report on a conscious state) are “all-or-none”. Upon crossing some threshold, neural signals are globally broadcast throughout the brain and allow conscious rep ...

Peri-personal space encoding in patients with disorders of consciousness and cognitive-motor dissociation

José del Rocio Millán Ruiz, Andrea Serino, Maria Manuela da Silva Marques, Serafeim Perdikis, Jean-Paul Noel

Behavioral assessments of consciousness based on overt command following cannot differentiate patients with disorders of consciousness (DOC) from those who demonstrate a dissociation between intent/awareness and motor capacity: cognitive motor dissociation ...

Complete coordination of robotic fiber positioners for massive spectroscopic surveys

Denis Gillet, Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Matin Macktoobian

Robotic fiber positioners play a vital role in the generation of massive spectroscopic surveys. The more complete a positioners set is coordinated, the more information its corresponding spectrograph receives during an observation. The complete coordinatio ...

Quasi-Continuous Unconscious Processing precedes Discrete Conscious Perception

Michael Herzog, Adrien Christophe Doerig

Consciousness seems to be a smooth, continuous stream of percepts. We are aware of the world at each single moment of time. However, intriguing illusions suggest that the world is not continuously translated into conscious perception. Instead, consciousnes ...
