The early but not the late neural correlate of auditory awareness reflects lateralized experiences

Theories disagree as to whether it is the early or late neural correlate of awareness that plays a critical role in phenomenal awareness. According recurrent processing theory, activity primary sensory areas corresponds closely In support, research with electroencephalography found visual and somatosensory modality, an contralateral perceived side stimulation. Thus, sensitive Critically, unresolved this true also for hearing. present study (N = 26 students), Bayesian analyses showed (auditory negativity, AAN) was stronger than ipsilateral electrodes whereas auditory (late positivity, LP) not lateralized. These findings demonstrate but reflects lateralized experiences. these imply AAN more suitable NCC LP because correlates
