Many models of attention assume that attentional selection takes place at a specific moment
in time that demarcates the critical transition from pre-attentive to attentive processing of …

The attentional blink (AB) reveals a limitation in conscious processing of sequential targets.
Although it is widely held that the AB derives from a structural bottleneck of central capacity …

The human brain is inherently limited in the information it can make consciously accessible.
When people monitor a rapid stream of visual items for two targets, they typically fail to see …

Background: γ-Aminobutyric acid (GABA) is a primary inhibitory neurotransmitter that plays a
significant role in the central nervous system. Studies on both animals and humans show …

Temporality and the feeling of 'now'is a fundamental property of consciousness. Different
conceptualizations of time-consciousness have argued that both the content of our …

There is a high-capacity store of brief time span (∼ 1000 ms) which information enters from
perceptual processing, often called iconic memory or sensory memory. It is proposed that a …

The attentional blink task involves rapid serial presentation of visual stimuli, two of which the
participants have to report. The usual finding is that participants are impaired at reporting the …

Background Carriers of MR-haplotype 1 and 3 (GA/CG; rs5522 and rs2070951) are more
sensitive to the influence of oral contraceptives (OC) and menstrual cycle phase on …

A prevailing pessimism in the scientific study of consciousness is about it having too many
theories. With theories of consciousness becoming increasingly isolated from each other …

Temporal attention enhances the perceptual representation of a stimulus at a particular point
in time. The number of possible attentional episodes in a given period is limited, but whether …
