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 …

The science of consciousness has made great strides by focusing on the behavioural and
neuronal correlates of experience. However, while such correlates are important for …

The fully updated eighth edition of Cognitive Psychology: A Student's Handbook provides
comprehensive yet accessible coverage of all the key areas in the field ranging from visual …

The ability to recognize one's own successful cognitive processing, in eg, perceptual or
memory tasks, is often referred to as metacognition. How should we quantitatively measure …

A thought-provoking argument that consciousness—more widespread than previously
assumed—is the feeling of being alive, not a type of computation or a clever hack In The …

Human perceptual decisions are often described as optimal. Critics of this view have argued
that claims of optimality are overly flexible and lack explanatory power. Meanwhile …

Understanding how consciousness arises from neural activity remains one of the biggest
challenges for neuroscience. Numerous theories have been proposed in recent years, each …

Current theories of consciousness posit a dissociation between 'phenomenal'consciousness
(rich) and 'access' consciousness (limited). Here, we argue that the empirical evidence for …

The extent to which we are affected by perceptual input of which we are unaware is widely
debated. By measuring neural responses to sensory stimulation, neuroscientific data could …

Prestimulus oscillatory neural activity has been linked to perceptual outcomes during
performance of psychophysical detection and discrimination tasks. Specifically, the power …
