Occipital and left temporal EEG correlates of phenomenal consciousness

TL;DR

This paper investigates EEG correlates in occipital and left temporal regions associated with different states of phenomenal consciousness, access, and unconsciousness, providing insights into neural signatures of conscious experience.

Contribution

It introduces an experimental design to identify EEG activity linked to various consciousness states, focusing on occipital and temporal regions, advancing understanding of neural correlates of consciousness.

Findings

Distinct EEG patterns associated with access and phenomenology

EEG activity differences between conscious and unconscious states

Identification of neural signatures linked to phenomenal consciousness

Abstract

In the first section, Introduction, we present our experimental design. In the second section, we characterize the grand average occipital and temporal electrical activity correlated with a contrast in access. In the third section, we characterize the grand average occipital and temporal electrical activity correlated with a contrast in phenomenology and conclude characterizing the grand average occipital and temporal electrical activity co-occurring with unconsciousness.
