Quality space computations for consciousness
The quality space hypothesis about conscious experience proposes that conscious sensory
states are experienced in relation to other possible sensory states. For instance, the colour …

[HTML][HTML] Distinct ventral stream and prefrontal cortex representational dynamics during sustained conscious visual perception
Instances of sustained stationary sensory input are ubiquitous. However, previous work
focused almost exclusively on transient onset responses. This presents a critical challenge …

Free Will as Defined by the Constrained Disorder Principle: A Restricted, Mandatory, Personalized, Regulated Process for Decision-Making
Y Ilan - Integrative Psychological and Behavioral Science, 2024 - Springer
The concept of free will has challenged physicists, biologists, philosophers, and other
professionals for decades. The constrained disorder principle (CDP) is a fundamental law …

An adversarial collaboration to critically evaluate theories of consciousness
Different theories explain how subjective experience arises from brain activity,. These
theories have independently accrued evidence, yet, confirmation bias and dependence on …

Representations in human primary visual cortex drift over time
Primary sensory regions are believed to instantiate stable neural representations, yet a
number of recent rodent studies suggest instead that representations drift over time. To test …

Conjunctive processing of spatial border and locomotion in retrosplenial cortex during spatial navigation
Spatial information and dynamic locomotor behaviours are equally important for achieving
locomotor goals during spatial navigation. However, it remains unclear how spatial and …

[HTML][HTML] How to get rich from inflation
SAB Brown - Consciousness and Cognition, 2024 - Elsevier
We seem to have rich experience across our visual field. Yet we are surprisingly poor at
tasks involving the periphery and low spatial attention. Recently, Lau and collaborators have …

Text-related functionality of visual human pre-frontal activations revealed through neural network convergence
The functional role of visual activations of human pre-frontal cortex remains a deeply
debated question. Its significance extends to fundamental issues of functional localization …
