Perceptual moments of conscious visual experience inferred from oscillatory brain activity.
Transient periods of synchronized oscillating neuronal discharges in the brain have been proposed to support the discrete perceptual moments underlying conscious visual experience. However, the information content of these perceptual moments remains a critical challenge to the understanding of consciousness. We uncovered this information content in four observers who consciously perceived each ...
متن کاملConscious Perceptual Experience as Representational Self-Prompting
John Dilworth Western Michigan University [Journal of Mind and Behavior 28 no. 2 (2007), 135-156] The self-prompting theory of consciousness holds that conscious perceptual experience occurs when non-routine perceptual data prompt the activation of a plan in an executive control system that monitors perceptual input. On the other hand, routine, non-conscious perception merely provides data abou...

متن کاملBenjamin Libet Can Conscious Experience Affect Brain Activity ?
Velmans appropriately refers to our experimental study (Libet et al., 1983) that found that onset of an electrically observable cerebral process (readiness potential, or RP) preceded the appearance of the subject’s awareness of the conscious wish to act, by at least 350 msec. That indicated that the volitional process is initiated unconsciously. Velmans uses the term preconscious instead of unc...
متن کاملSeeing mathematics: perceptual experience and brain activity in acquired synesthesia.
We studied the patient JP who has exceptional abilities to draw complex geometrical images by hand and a form of acquired synesthesia for mathematical formulas and objects, which he perceives as geometrical figures. JP sees all smooth curvatures as discrete lines, similarly regardless of scale. We carried out two preliminary investigations to establish the perceptual nature of synesthetic exper...
