The current discussion on the neural correlates of the contents of consciousness (NCCc)
focuses mainly on the post-stimulus period of task-related activity. This neglects the …

Instances of sustained stationary sensory input are ubiquitous. However, previous work
focused almost exclusively on transient onset responses. This presents a critical challenge …

Consciousness is constituted by a structure that includes contents as foreground and the
environment as background. This structural relation between the experiential foreground …

underlying consciousness. However, an overarching framework bridging between models of …

The neuroscience of consciousness is undergoing a significant empirical acceleration
thanks to several adversarial collaborations that intend to test different predictions of rival …

Integrated information theory (IIT) of consciousness proposes an identity between its causal
structure and phenomenology. Through this assertion, IIT aims to explain consciousness by …

Machine learning algorithms have achieved superhuman performance in specific complex
domains. Yet learning online from few examples and efficiently generalizing across domains …

Should models of consciousness be detailed _mechanistic_ models of particular types of
systems, or should they be _minimal_ models that abstract away from the underlying …
