DOI: 10.1016/j.cognition.2016.12.009
Abstract: Recent research shows that prior experience and expectations strongly enhance a visual stimulus' access to conscious awareness. However, whether such advance knowledge also influences this stimulus' indirect impact on behavior is poorly understood. The resolution… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-019-52072-1
Abstract: Mental imagery and visual perception rely on similar neural mechanisms, but the function of this overlap remains unclear. One idea is that imagery can influence perception. Previous research has shown that imagining a stimulus prior… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/cercor/bhx346
Abstract: Phasic alertness facilitates conscious perception through a fronto-striatal network, including the supplementary motor area (SMA). The functioning of the ventral attentional network has been related to the alerting system, overlapping with the ventral branch of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/cercor/bhy332
Abstract: The executive control network is involved in the voluntary control of novel and complex situations. Solving conflict situations or detecting errors have demonstrated to impair conscious perception of near-threshold stimuli. The aim of this study… read more here.

DOI: 10.1101/2020.01.29.924928
Abstract: Access of sensory information to consciousness is thought to be mediated through ignition of neural activity in the prefrontal cortex (PFC). Ignition occurs once activity elicited by sensory input crosses a threshold, which has been… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fnbeh.2022.797119
Abstract: The folk psychological notion that “we see what we expect to see” is supported by evidence that we become consciously aware of visual stimuli that match our prior expectations more quickly than stimuli that violate… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fpsyg.2017.01147
Abstract: Conscious experiences are linked to activity in our brain: the neural correlates of consciousness (NCC). Empirical research on these NCCs covers a wide range of brain activity signals, measures, and methodologies. In this paper, we… read more here.

Measuring Perceptual Consciousness

DOI: 10.3389/fpsyg.2017.02320
Abstract: Conscious perception is typically assessed with either objective or subjective measures (Seth et al., 2008). Measures are considered objective if conscious perception is estimated from performance in a discrimination task; inability to discriminate between stimuli… read more here.

Art and Perception: Using Empirical Aesthetics in Research on Consciousness

DOI: 10.3389/fpsyg.2022.895985
Abstract: Understanding consciousness is a major frontier in the natural sciences. However, given the nuanced and ambiguous sets of conditions regarding how and when consciousness appears to manifest, it is also one of the most elusive… read more here.
