Most animals have at least some binocular overlap, ie, a region of space that is viewed by
both eyes. This reduces the overall visual field and raises the problem of combining two …

Our conscious experience of the world seems to go in lockstep with our attentional focus: We
tend to see, hear, taste, and feel what we attend to, and vice versa. This tight coupling …

This essay critically examines the extent to which binocular rivalry can provide important
clues about the neural correlates of conscious visual perception. Our ideas are presented …

Progress in the science of consciousness depends on the experimental paradigms and
varieties of contrastive analysis available to researchers. Here we highlight paradigms …

In a famous series of experiments, Libet investigated the subjective timing of awareness of
an intention to move, a task that can be considered a metacognitive judgement. The ability to …

Binocular rivalry (BR) refers to the spontaneous, unpredictable fluctuations in visual
awareness provoked by dissimilar stimulation of the two eyes. Reports of the phenomenon …

I disturbi di paura e ansia rappresentano un problema psichiatrico molto diffuso ma anche
chi è considerato mentalmente e fisicamente sano può soffrire temporaneamente di terrori e …

The dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus of the thalamus (LGN) receives the main outputs of
both eyes and relays those signals to the visual cortex. Each retina projects to separate …

Research on the neural basis of conscious perception has almost exclusively shown that
becoming aware of a stimulus leads to increased neural responses. By designing a novel …

Qualitative relationships between two instances of conscious experiences can be quantified
through the perceived similarity. Previously, we proposed that by defining similarity …
