The search for the neural correlates of consciousness is in need of a systematic, principled
foundation that can endow putative neural correlates with greater predictive and explanatory …

Predictive processing approaches to brain function are increasingly delivering promise for
illuminating the computational underpinnings of a wide range of phenomenological states. It …

Background Transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (tVNS or taVNS) is a non-
invasive method of electrical stimulation of the afferent pathway of the vagus nerve …

Building on the landmark O'Regan and Noë (Behav Brain Sci 24: 939–973, 2001) that
introduced us to the sensorimotor theory of perception, Alva Noë has continued to develop …

Instrumental conditioning is a crucial part of adaptive behaviour, allowing agents to
selectively interact with stimuli in their environment. Recent evidence suggests that …

The search for the neural correlates of consciousness has brought many theories of
consciousness with it. The abundance of theories points to the need to examine the …

Any successful naturalistic account of consciousness must state what consciousness is, in
terms that are compatible with the rest of our naturalistic descriptions of the world. Integrated …

Continuous flash suppression (CFS) has become one of the most popular tools in the study
of visual processing in the absence of conscious awareness. Studies use different kinds of …

Forming expectations about what we are likely to perceive often facilitates perception. We
forge such expectations on the basis of strong statistical relationships between events in our …
