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 …

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 …

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 …

Background Consciousness poses two main problems. The first is understanding the
conditions that determine to what extent a system has conscious experience. For instance …

We used functional magnetic resonance imaging to demonstrate preserved conscious
awareness in a patient fulfilling the criteria for a diagnosis of vegetative state. When asked to …

We review the nosological criteria and functional neuroanatomical basis for brain death,
coma, vegetative state, minimally conscious state, and the locked-in state. Functional …

Consciousness has two main components: wakefulness and awareness. The vegetative
state is characterized by wakefulness without awareness. Recent functional neuroimaging …

The past 15years have provided an unprecedented collection of discoveries that bear upon
our scientific understanding of recovery of consciousness in the human brain following …

Cortical gamma band oscillations (GBO, 30–80 Hz, typically∼ 40 Hz) are involved in higher
cognitive functions such as feature binding, attention, and working memory. GBO …
