While most neuroscientists acknowledge that consciousness exist...

We review recent research about human subjectivity and self-consciousness that has focused on cognitive psychology and neuroimaging of bodily self-consciousness. Multidisciplinary research on the fields of neurology, cognitive neuroscience and virtual reality opens new avenues to investigate brain mechanisms underlying a fundamental sense of the bodily self. Clinical evidence for the implicatio...

متن کاملThe Cognitive Neuroscience of Memory and Consciousness
In this chapter, we delineate the neural activity associated with conscious memories characterized by different degrees of ‘retrieval content’ (i.e. sensory/contextual detail). Based primarily on neuroimaging evidence, we identify the neural regions that are associated most consistently with the following conscious memory processes: retrieval success versus retrieval attempt, remembering versus...
