Rapid eye movement sleep displays distinct fractal dynamics between phasic and tonic states [0.03%]
快速眼动睡眠在相位性和稳态下表现出不同的分形动力学特征

Rapid eye movement (REM) sleep consists of phasic and tonic microstates with unique neurophysiological properties, yet their fractal characteristics remain underexplored. Using Higuchi's fractal dimension (HFD) analysis of electroencephalog...
Exploring the role of micro-valence in the phenomenal space: insights from similarity judgments and deep learning models [0.03%]
探索微价值在现象空间中的作用：相似性判断和深度学习模型的启示

Is valence an intrinsic dimension of conscious experience, as different authors have suggested? If so, all conscious experiences, and hence all conscious perceptions, should be valenced, even if only minimally so, and similarity judgments s...
Mid-level perceptual features, and not ambiguity, accelerate access to awareness [0.03%]
中期知觉特征促进对意识的感知，而不是模糊性

Current theoretical accounts of perception and high-level cognition suggest that awareness plays an active role in disambiguating incoming sensory information. However, the relationship between ambiguity resolution and conscious access rema...
Learning to attenuate myself: a predictive processing account of body-scan meditation and the dissolution of bodily boundaries [0.03%]
自我消融：身体扫描冥想和身体边界解体的预测处理解释
Valeria Becattini,Michael Lifshitz,Mark Miller

Meditation practices often involve sustaining attention on the body. Typically, attention is understood to enhance both neural resource allocation and the subjective salience of the attended target. However, in deep meditative states, pract...
Beyond computational equivalence: the behavioral inference principle for machine consciousness [0.03%]
超越计算等价性：机器意识的行为推断原则

Large Language Models (LLMs) have rapidly become a central topic in AI and cognitive science, due to their unprecedented performance in a vast array of tasks. Indeed, some even see "sparks of artificial general intelligence" in their appare...

This article challenges the assumption that the science of consciousness can proceed from a theory-neutral foundation. I argue that even ostensibly theory-neutral (or theory-light) programmes inevitably rely on substantive background commit...
Modulation of sensory attenuation by intensive meditation practice: an active inference perspective [0.03%]
从主动推理视角看正念冥想对感觉减弱的调节作用
Arnaud Poublan-Couzardot,Alexandre Foncelle,Eric Koun et al.
Arnaud Poublan-Couzardot et al.
Active inference describes motor action as a prediction-driven inferential process, whereby ascending proprioceptive prediction errors are attenuated to allow the fulfillment of expected movement. Meditative practices typically involve a he...
Creative problem-solving after experimentally provoking dreams of unsolved puzzles during REM sleep [0.03%]
通过快速眼动睡眠实验诱发解决未解决难题的梦境以提高创造力解决问题的能力

Dreams have arguably been a source of creative insight for millennia. The specific assertion that dreams during rapid eye movement (REM) sleep promote creative problem-solving, however, has only anecdotal support, lacking strong empirical s...

Modern technology frequently places the consequences of our actions at a distance (e.g. remote surgery, smart-home control, virtual reality). Does spatial distance between an action and its outcome weaken the sense of agency (SoA) - the fee...
Evaluating Alzheimer's disease with the TMS-EEG perturbation complexity index [0.03%]
基于TMS-EEG扰动的复杂度指数在阿尔茨海默病评估中的应用研究

The Perturbation Complexity Index-State Transitions (PCIST) measures the complexity of the brain's response to transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) using electroencephalography (EEG) and is sensitive to consciousness, such as minimally c...
