We review the central tenets and neuroanatomical basis of the global neuronal workspace
(GNW) hypothesis, which attempts to account for the main scientific observations regarding …

How is conscious experience related to material brain processes? A variety of theories
aiming to answer this age-old question have emerged from the recent surge in …

The use of low sub-perceptual doses of psychedelics (“microdosing”) has gained popularity
in recent years. Although anecdotal reports claim multiple benefits associated with this …

The controversial question of whether machines may ever be conscious must be based on a
careful consideration of how consciousness arises in the only physical system that …

There have been a number of advances in the search for the neural correlates of
consciousness—the minimum neural mechanisms sufficient for any one specific conscious …

Recent breakthroughs in neurobiology indicate that the time is ripe to understand how
cellular-level mechanisms are related to conscious experience. Here, we highlight the …

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

WINNER OF THE 2014 BRAIN PRIZE From the acclaimed author of Reading in the Brain
and How We Learn, a breathtaking look at the new science that can track consciousness …

An outstanding challenge for consciousness research is to characterize the neural signature
of conscious access independently of any decisional processes. Here we present a model …

Much research on the neural correlates of consciousness (NCC) has focused on two evoked
potentials, the P3b and the visual or auditory awareness negativity (VAN, AAN). Surveying a …
