The cognitive neuroscience of consciousness [PDF]

Cognitive Neuroscience, 2010
The past decade has seen an explosion of interest in the neural mechanisms underlying consciousness. Experimental approaches from cognitive neuroscience that emphasize converging evidence from multiple methodologies have changed our understanding of how conscious mental states are associated with patterns of brain activity.

On the Neurobiology of Meditation: Comparison of Three Organizing Strategies to Investigate Brain Patterns during Meditation Practice

Medicina, 2020
Three broad organizing strategies have been used to study meditation practices: (1) consider meditation practices as using similar processes and so combine neural images across a wide range of practices to identify the common underlying brain patterns of

Slow oscillation-spindle coupling predicts enhanced memory formation from childhood to adolescence

eLife, 2020
Precise temporal coordination of slow oscillations (SO) and sleep spindles is a fundamental mechanism of sleep-dependent memory consolidation. SO and spindle morphology changes considerably throughout development.

What determines the neural response to snakes in the infant brain? A systematic comparison of color and grayscale stimuli

Frontiers in Psychology, 2023
Snakes and primates have coexisted for thousands of years. Given that snakes are the first of the major primate predators, natural selection may have favored primates whose snake detection abilities allowed for better defensive behavior.

Electrophysiological model of human temporal contrast sensitivity based on SSVEP

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2023
The present study aims to connect the psychophysical research on the human visual perception of flicker with the neurophysiological research on steady-state visual evoked potentials (SSVEPs) in the context of their application needs and current ...

Near-Death Experience Memories Include More Episodic Components Than Flashbulb Memories

Frontiers in Psychology, 2020
Memories of near-death experiences (NDEs) are recalled as “realer” than memories of other real or imagined events. Given their rich phenomenology, emotionality and consequentiality, it was hypothesized that they could meet some aspects of the definition ...

Does the MRI/fMRI Procedure Itself Confound the Results of Meditation Research? An Evaluation of Subjective and Neurophysiological Measures of TM Practitioners in a Simulated MRI Environment

Frontiers in Psychology, 2020
Early research into meditation, including Transcendental Meditation (TM), relied exclusively on EEG to measure brain activity during meditation practice. Since the advent of neural imaging, MRI, and later fMRI, have dominated this field.

Memory Traces Formed in Utero—Newborns’ Autonomic and Neuronal Responses to Prenatal Stimuli and the Maternal Voice

Brain Sciences, 2020
In our pilot study, we exposed third-trimester fetuses, from week 34 of gestation onwards, twice daily to a maternal spoken nursery rhyme. Two and five weeks after birth, 34 newborns, who were either familiarized with rhyme stimulation in utero or ...

Behavioral and electrophysiological effects of network-based frontoparietal tDCS in patients with severe brain injury: A randomized controlled trial

NeuroImage: Clinical, 2020
Background: Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) may promote the recovery of severely brain-injured patients with disorders of consciousness (DOC).

No association between head injury with loss of consciousness and Alzheimer disease pathology—Findings from the University of Manchester Longitudinal Study of Cognition in Normal Healthy Old Age

International Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry, 2019
Head injury with loss of consciousness (HI‐LOC) is a common occurrence. Some studies have linked such injuries with an increased risk of Alzheimer disease (AD).
