Temporo-spatial Theory of Consciousness (TTC)–Bridging the gap of neuronal activity and phenomenal states

G Northoff, F Zilio - Behavioural brain research, 2022 - Elsevier
Consciousness and its neural mechanisms remain a mystery. Current neuroscientific
theories focus predominantly on the external input/stimulus and the associated stimulus …

Neurodynamics

S Coombes, KCA Wedgwood - Texts in applied mathematics, 2023 - Springer

from dynamical systems theory have been developed and employed in recent years to give …

[HTML][HTML] Prestimulus dynamics blend with the stimulus in neural variability quenching

A Wolff, L Chen, S Tumati, M Golesorkhi, J Gomez-Pilar… - NeuroImage, 2021 - Elsevier
Neural responses to the same stimulus show significant variability over trials, with this
variability typically reduced (quenched) after a stimulus is presented. This trial-to-trial …

From shorter to longer timescales: converging integrated information theory (IIT) with the temporo-spatial theory of consciousness (TTC)

G Northoff, F Zilio - Entropy, 2022 - mdpi.com
Time is a key element of consciousness as it includes multiple timescales from shorter to
longer ones. This is reflected in our experience of various short-term phenomenal contents …

SEED-G: simulated EEG data generator for testing connectivity algorithms

A Anzolin, J Toppi, M Petti, F Cincotti, L Astolfi - Sensors, 2021 - mdpi.com
EEG signals are widely used to estimate brain circuits associated with specific tasks and
cognitive processes. The testing of connectivity estimators is still an open issue because of …

Boosts in brain signal variability track liberal shifts in decision bias

NA Kloosterman, JQ Kosciessa, U Lindenberger… - Elife, 2020 - elifesciences.org
Adopting particular decision biases allows organisms to tailor their choices to environmental
demands. For example, a liberal response strategy pays off when target detection is crucial …

Variability of neuronal responses in the posterior superior temporal sulcus predicts choice behavior during social interactions

H Ramezanpour, M Görner… - Journal of …, 2021 - journals.physiology.org
Recent studies have shown that neural activity in a well-defined patch in the posterior
superior temporal sulcus (the “gaze-following patch,” GFP) of the primate brain is strongly …

Irruption Theory in Phase Transitions: A Proof of Concept With the Haken-Kelso-Bunz Model

J Sánchez-Cañizares - Adaptive Behavior, 2024 - journals.sagepub.com
Many theoretical studies defend the existence of ongoing phase transitions in the brain
dynamics that could explain its enormous plasticity to cope with the environment. However …

Bridging the gap–spontaneous fluctuations shape stimulus-evoked spectral power

S Wainio-Theberge, A Wolff, G Northoff - bioRxiv, 2020 - biorxiv.org
Spontaneous fluctuations of neural activity have been shown to influence trial-by-trial
variation in perceptual, cognitive, and behavioural outcomes. This implies that these …

Individual magnitudes of neural variability quenching are associated with motion perception abilities

E Daniel, I Dinstein - Journal of Neurophysiology, 2021 - journals.physiology.org
Remarkable trial-by-trial variability is apparent in cortical responses to repeating stimulus
presentations. This neural variability across trials is relatively high before stimulus …
