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 …

Cognition results from interactions among functionally specialized but widely distributed
brain regions; however, neuroscience has so far largely focused on characterizing the …

Decision-makers often arrive at different choices when faced with repeated presentations of
the same evidence. Variability of behavior is commonly attributed to noise in the brain's …

Action monitoring and conflict resolution require the rapid and flexible coordination of activity
in multiple brain regions. Oscillatory neural population activity may be a key physiological …

A number of studies have shown that pupil size increases transiently during effortful
decisions. These decision-related changes in pupil size are mediated by central …

Oscillations are a pervasive feature of neuronal activity in the cerebral cortex. Here, we
propose a framework for understanding local cortical oscillation patterns in cognition: two …

Multistable perception is the spontaneous alternation between two or more perceptual states
that occurs when sensory information is ambiguous. Multistable phenomena permit …

Covert attention, the selective processing of visual information in the absence of eye
movements, improves behavioral performance. We found that attention, both exogenous …

Measurements of repetition suppression with functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI
adaptation) have been used widely to probe neuronal population response properties in …

Sometimes, perception fluctuates spontaneously between two distinct interpretations of a
constant sensory input. These bistable perceptual phenomena provide a unique window …
