This study identifies neural signatures of conscious experience during NREM sleep using high-density EEG and machine learning.

This study records single neuron activity in humans during emergence from propofol anesthesia, showing increased firing rates and shifts in brain activity patterns in medial temporal regions before motor response to verbal command.

This paper investigates how temporal interference stimulation affects memory encoding in humans, finding that different frequencies and brain targets can either enhance or impair recall.

The paper investigates the neural correlates of pure presence (PP) in meditators using hdEEG, finding reduced gamma power and delta power compared to other states, aligning with Integrated Information Theory predictions.

The paper investigates how criticality in resting-state EEG correlates with perturbational complexity and consciousness during anesthesia, finding that unconscious states show reduced criticality.

A preregistered multimodal neuroimaging study across 256 human participants directly tests Integrated Information Theory against Global Neuronal Workspace Theory, confirming some predictions while revealing major empirical challenges for both.

The paper introduces PCIST, a fast method to estimate perturbational complexity of brain signals, validated on TMS/hd-EEG and SEEG data, showing comparable accuracy to the original PCI with improved speed and applicability.

This paper identifies BOLD oscillations in fMRI that differentiate sleep from wake and correlate with spindles and slow waves.

This study links pathological bistability in UWS patients to reduced brain complexity using TMS/EEG and PCI measurements.

This study shows propofol reduces evoked power and impairs feedforward connectivity in the cortical hierarchy during TMS.

This paper reviews clinical and neuroimaging evidence to debate whether consciousness is linked to the frontal or posterior cortex.

The paper identifies a posterior cortical region with low-frequency activity decreases and high-frequency activity correlations with dream content during both NREM and REM sleep.
