Separating the neural correlates of #consciousness from those related to unconscious processing is challenging. This #EEG study by @maelanmenetrey.bsky.social &co suggests two-stages of visual processing as individual stimuli are integrated into a conscious percept. 🧪 #AcademicSky plos.io/4wwzxNb

Sequential neural dynamics underlie unconscious integration and conscious perception of visual stimuli
Understanding the neural correlates of consciousness remains a challenge, as disentangling unconscious from conscious processing is highly complex. Using EEG decoding, this study provides neural evide...

🚨 New preprint! What if individual alpha peak frequency—often treated as a global marker of brain function and clinical phenotypes—actually reflects a mixture of independent alpha rhythms with distinct frequencies and neural origins? That’s what @davidpascucci.bsky.social and I suggest here. #EEG

What is next? Predictable visual sequences are encoded with anticipatory biases and reduced neural responses
Objects in motion follow predictable trajectories that the brain can easily anticipate. We investigated the underlying neural mechanisms, focusing on a form of representational momentum (RM), whereby ...

Alpha peak frequency affects visual performance beyond temporal resolution
Abstract. Recent work suggests that the individual alpha peak frequency (IAPF) reflects the temporal resolution of visual processing: individuals with higher IAPF can segregate stimuli at shorter inte...
