The neocortex is a complex neurobiological system with many interacting regions. How
these regions work together to subserve flexible behavior and cognition has become …

Philosopher Ned Block argues in this book that there is a" joint in nature" between
perception and cognition and that by exploring the nature of that joint, one can solve …

The neural correlates supporting our perceptual experience of the world remain largely
unknown. Recent studies have shown how stimulus detection and related confidence …

To identify the neural correlates of perceptual awareness, researchers often compare the
differences in neural activation between conditions in which an observer is or is not aware of …

A central debate in philosophy and neuroscience pertains to whether PFC activity plays an
essential role in the neural basis of consciousness. Neuroimaging and electrophysiology …

Does perceptual awareness arise within the sensory regions of the brain or within higher-
level regions (eg, the frontal lobe)? To answer this question, researchers traditionally …

Current theories of visual consciousness disagree about whether it emerges during early
stages of processing in sensory brain regions or later when a widespread frontoparietal …

In the search for the neural correlates of consciousness, it has remained controversial
whether prefrontal cortex determines what is consciously experienced or, alternatively …

A powerful paradigm to identify neural correlates of consciousness is binocular rivalry,
wherein a constant visual stimulus evokes a varying conscious percept. It has recently been …

The neural mechanisms underlying conscious recognition remain unclear, particularly the
roles played by the prefrontal cortex, deactivated brain areas and subcortical regions. We …
