5. 3. Electrophysiological correlates of consciousness

   Author : Rasmus Eklund; Stefan Wiens; Mats Nilsson; Antti Revonsuo; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; neural correlates of consciousness; electroencephalography; event-related potentials; visual awareness negativity; auditory awareness negativity; recurrent processing; phenomenal consciousness; access consciousness; Psychology; psykologi;

   Abstract : How does the brain enable us to experience seeing or hearing a stimulus? If a stimulus is repeatedly presented at the awareness threshold, subjects will report that they are aware of the stimulus on half of the presentations. Electroencephalography (EEG) can be used to non-invasively record neural activity as event-related potentials (ERPs). READ MORE

However, as I will outline in this thesis, there are other means by which to improve memory, such as retrieval practice in the form of tests. READ MORE

   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; EEG; event-related potential; mismatch negativity; auditory steady-state response; envelope following response; perceptual load; visual load; task difficulty; crossmodal attention; early-filter theory; adaptive filtering model; Psychology; psykologi;

   Abstract : In daily life, people need to be able to focus on a task while ignoring any task-irrelevant background noise. For example, people who work in an open-space office may have to work on a report while ignoring the background talk among co-workers. READ MORE
