Recent experimental studies and theoretical models have begun to address the challenge of
establishing a causal link between subjective conscious experience and measurable …

Evoked potentials provide valuable insight into brain processes that are integral to our ability
to interact effectively and efficiently in the world. The mismatch negativity (MMN) component …

Why are some visual stimuli consciously detected, whereas others remain subliminal? We
investigated the fate of weak visual stimuli in the visual and frontal cortex of awake monkeys …

The brain exhibits organized fluctuations of neural activity, even in the absence of tasks or
sensory input. A prominent type of such spontaneous activity is the alpha rhythm, which …

Solving the problem of consciousness remains one of the biggest challenges in modern
science. One key step towards understanding consciousness is to empirically narrow down …

Recent studies from the field of interoception have highlighted the link between bodily and
neural rhythms during action, perception, and cognition. The mechanisms underlying …

Highlights•Most of the brain's early computations can be performed in a non-conscious
mode.•Conscious perception results in an amplification, propagation and integration of brain …

Alpha oscillations are ubiquitous in the brain, but their role in cortical processing remains a
matter of debate. Recently, evidence has begun to accumulate in support of a role for alpha …

The ability to generate temporal predictions is fundamental for adaptive behavior. Precise
timing at the time-scale of seconds is critical, for instance to predict trajectories or to select …

This joint article reflects the authors' personal views regarding noteworthy advances in the
neuroscience of consciousness in the last 10 years, and suggests what we feel may be …
