2015 On why the unconscious prerequisites and consequences of consciousness might derail us from unraveling the neural correlates of consciousness The Constitution of Phenomenal Consciousness: Toward a science and theory, Miller, Steven M. (ed.), pp. 205–225 | Article
It has been proposed that one key step for solving the mystery of consciousness is to locate the neural correlates of consciousness (NCC). The experimental paradigms for revealing the NCC have commonly applied the contrast between conditions with and without conscious perception. However, such… read more
2010 Distinct characteristics of conscious experience are met by large-scale neuronal synchronization New Horizons in the Neuroscience of Consciousness, Perry, Elaine K., Daniel Collerton, Fiona E.N. LeBeau and Heather Ashton (eds.), pp. 17–28 | Article
Conscious processes have a number of distinct properties that need to be accounted for by neuronal mechanisms supporting conscious experience. It is proposed that synchronization of distributed neuronal activity patterns meets most of these requirements. A major problem for the identification of… read more
2010 Large scale temporal coordination of cortical activity as prerequisite for conscious experience The Emergence of Consciousness: A top-down, social phenomenon?, Cole, Jonathan and Marcelo Dascal † (eds.), pp. 570–583 | Article
Phenomenal awareness, the ability to be aware of one’s sensations and feelings, emerges from the capacity of evolved brains to represent their own cognitive processes by iterating and self-reapplying the cortical operations that generate representations of the outer world. Search for the neuronal… read more
