The relationship between conscious experience and brain activity has intrigued scientists philosophers for centuries. In the last decades, several theories have suggested different accounts these relationships. These developed in parallel, with little to no cross-talk among them. To advance research on consciousness, we established an adversarial collaboration proponents of two major field, Global Neuronal Workspace Integrated Information Theory. Together, devised preregistered experiments...
Summary Different theories explain how subjective experience arises from brain activity 1,2 . These have independently accrued evidence, yet, confirmation bias and dependence on design choices hamper progress in the field 3 Here, we present an open science adversarial collaboration which directly juxtaposes Integrated Information Theory (IIT) 4,5 Global Neuronal Workspace (GNWT) 6–10 , employing a theory-neutral consortium approach 11,12 We investigate neural correlates of content duration...
Integrating information across sensory domains to construct a unified representation of multi-sensory signals is fundamental characteristic perception in ecological contexts. One provocative hypothesis deriving from neurophysiology suggests that there exists early and direct cross-modal phase modulation. We provide evidence, based on magnetoencephalography (MEG) recordings participants viewing audiovisual movies, low-frequency neuronal lies at the basis synergistic coordination auditory...
Neuronal oscillations are ubiquitous in the brain and contribute to perception attention. However, most associated evidence derives from post hoc correlations between dynamics behavior. Although a few recent studies demonstrate rhythms behavior, it remains largely unknown whether behavioral performances manifest spectrotemporal neurophysiologically relevant manner (e.g., temporal modulation of ongoing oscillations, cross-frequency coupling). To investigate issue, we examined fine time...
Natural sounds, including vocal communication contain critical information at multiple time scales. Two essential temporal modulation rates in speech have been argued to be the low gamma band (~20-80 ms duration information) and theta (~150-300 ms), corresponding segmental syllabic rates, respectively. On one hypothesis, auditory cortex implements integration using constants closely related these values. The neural correlates of a proposed dual window mechanism human remain poorly...
In a crowded visual scene, attention must be distributed efficiently and flexibly over time space to accommodate different contexts. It is well established that selective enhances the corresponding neural responses, presumably implying would persistently dwell on task-relevant item. Meanwhile, recent studies, mostly in divided attentional contexts, suggest does not remain stationary but samples objects alternately time, suggesting rhythmic view of attention. However, it remains unknown...
The brain constantly creates perceptual predictions about forthcoming stimuli to guide perception efficiently. Abundant studies have demonstrated that modulate sensory activities depending on whether the actual inputs are consistent with one particular prediction. In real-life contexts, however, multiple and even conflicting might concurrently exist be tested, requiring a multiprediction coordination process. It remains largely unknown how hypotheses conveyed harmonized moment-by-moment...
Recent studies have revealed the importance of high-frequency brain signals (>70 Hz). One challenge signal analysis is that size time-frequency representation could be larger than 1 terabytes (TB), which beyond upper limits a typical computer workstation's memory (<196 GB). The aim present study to develop new method provide greater sensitivity in detecting magnetoencephalography (MEG) single automated and versatile interface, rather more traditional, time-intensive visual inspection...
Significance Integrating visual features into a coherent scene is challenge for the system known as binding problem. Brain oscillations in γ-band have been suggested to be neural substrate of feature binding. Using electroencephalogram, we showed that was closely associated with α-oscillations. Through entrainment α-oscillations by transcranial alternating current stimulation, selectively changing could shape Our study demonstrates causal role and reveals function human cognition.
Magnetoencephalography (MEG) allows for quantifying modulations of human neuronal activity on a millisecond time scale while also making it possible to estimate the location underlying sources. The technique relies heavily signal processing and source modelling. To this end, there are several open-source toolboxes developed by community. While these powerful as they provide wealth options analyses, many pose challenge reproducible research well researchers new field. FLUX pipeline aims make...
The regularities of the world render an intricate interplay between past and present. Even across independent trials, current-trial perception can be automatically shifted by preceding namely “serial bias.” Meanwhile, neural implementation spontaneous shift present that operates on multiple features remains unknown. In two auditory categorization experiments with human electrophysiological recordings, we demonstrate serial bias arises from co-occurrence past-trial reactivation encoding...

Storing temporal sequences of events (i.e., sequence memory) is fundamental to many cognitive functions. However, it unknown how the order information maintained and represented in working memory its behavioral significance, particularly human subjects. We recorded electroencephalography (EEG) combination with a response function (TRF) method dissociate item-specific neuronal reactivations. demonstrate that serially remembered items are successively reactivated during retention. The...

Abstract Automatic shaping of perception by past experiences is common in many cognitive functions, reflecting the exploitation temporal regularities environments. A striking example serial dependence, i.e., current biased previous trials. However, neural implementation its operational circle human brains remains unclear. In two experiments with Electroencephalography (EEG) / Magnetoencephalography (MEG) recordings and delayed-response tasks, we demonstrate a two-stage...
The question of what is a perceptual object one the most central and also controversial issues in cognitive science. According to topological approach organization, core intuitive notion an object--the holistic identity preserved over shape-changing transformations--may be characterized precisely as invariance. Here we show that, across series multiple-object tracking tasks, performance was not disrupted when moving items underwent massive featural changes. However, significantly impaired...
Rapidly grouping local elements into an organized object (i.e., perceptual integration) is a fundamental yet challenging task, especially in noisy contexts. Previous studies demonstrate that ventral visual pathway, which widely known to mediate recognition, engages the process by conveying object-level information processed high-level areas modulate low-level sensory areas. Meanwhile, recent evidence suggests dorsal not typically attributable also involved process. However, underlying...
