Despite extensive research, the very existence of unconscious learning in humans remains much debated. Skepticism arises chiefly from the difficulty in assessing the level of awareness of the complex associations learned in classical implic...

Subliminal manipulation is often considered harmless because its effects typically decay within a second. So far, subliminal long-term effects on behavior were only observed in studies which repeatedly presented highly familiar information ...

When we fall asleep, our awareness of the surrounding world fades. Yet, the sleeping brain is far from being dormant and recent research unraveled the preservation of complex sensory processing during sleep. In wakefulness, such processes u...
Metacognition about the past and future: quantifying common and distinct influences on prospective and retrospective judgments of self-performance [0.03%]
关于过去和未来的元认知：量化对未来和过去自我表现判断的共同和不同影响

Metacognitive judgments of performance can be retrospective (such as confidence in past choices) or prospective (such as a prediction of success). Several lines of evidence indicate that these two aspects of metacognition are dissociable, s...

In their seminal (1983) study, Libet and colleagues suggested that awareness of one's intention to act has a postdictive character in that it occurs long after cerebral activity leading to action has been initiated. Crucially, Libet et al. ...

Behavioral diagnosis of global disorders of consciousness is difficult and errors in diagnosis occur often. Recent advances in neuroimaging may resolve this problem. However, clinical translation of neuroimaging requires clinical validation...
The spatiotemporal dynamics of binocular rivalry: evidence for increased top-down flow prior to a perceptual switch [0.03%]
双眼竞争的时空动态变化：证据表明在知觉转变前自上而下的流量增加

According to most theories, perceptual switching during binocular rivalry is caused by competition between the neural representations of the two input images. It remains unclear whether competition is resolved already at the early stages of...

It has often been suggested in the popular and academic literature that the psychedelic state qualifies as a higher state of consciousness relative to the state of normal waking awareness. This article subjects this proposal to critical scr...

In his paper 'Are we ever aware of concepts? A critical question for the Global Neuronal Workspace, Integrated Information, and Attended Intermediate-Level Representation theories of consciousness' (2015, this journal), Kemmerer defends a c...
Serial versus parallel processing in mid-level vision: filling-in the details of spatial interpolation [0.03%]

The relationship between boundary completion and surface filling-in, two core mechanisms of mid-level vision, remains unclear. Here, we integrate recent empirical findings to shine new light onto the neural mechanisms of boundary completion...
