Multiple independent components contribute to event-related potential correlates of conscious vision
We examined spatiotemporal neural sources underlying ERP correlates of conscious vision. • ICA decomposition and clustering allows unveiling neural sources hidden in ERP analysis. • Results show that consciousness-related activity accumulates dynamically in a network of areas. • The cortical generator of VAN is rooted in occipito-temporal brain regions. • The cortical generators of LP are widespread over frontal, parietal and occipito-temporal co…
Top-Down Processing and Nature Connectedness Predict Psychological and Physiological Effects of Nature
Exposure to natural environments has positive psychological effects. These effects have been explained from an evolutionary perspective, emphasizing humans’ innate preference for natural stimuli. We tested whether top-down cognitive processes influence the psychophysiological effects of environments. The source of an ambiguous sound was attributed to either nature (waterfall) or industry (factory). The results suggested that the participants’ sub…
Promise and challenges for discovering transcranial magnetic stimulation induced “numbsense”—Commentary on Ro & Koenig (2021)
The notion that behavioral responses to stimuli can be mediated by separate unconscious and conscious sensory pathways remains popular, but also hotly debated. Recently, Ro and Koenig (2021) reported that when activity in somatosensory cortex was interfered with transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), participants could discriminate tactile stimuli they reported not consciously feeling. The study launches an interesting new area of research, hel…
Consciousness as a concrete physical phenomenon
The typical empirical approach to studying consciousness holds that we can only observe the neural correlates of experiences, not the experiences themselves. In this paper we argue, in contrast, that experiences are concrete physical phenomena that can causally interact with other phenomena, including observers. Hence, experiences can be observed and scientifically modelled. We propose that the epistemic gap between an experience and a scientific…
Visual features and perceptual context modulate attention towards evolutionarily relevant threatening stimuli
The snake detection hypothesis claims that predatory pressure from snakes has shaped the primate visual system, but we still know very little about how the brain processes evolutionarily important visual cues, and which factors are crucial for quick detection of snakes. We investigated how visual features modulate the electrophysiological markers of early attentional processes. In Experiment 1, we compared snake, rope, gun, and bird images to iso…
