Bifurcation dynamics in a shared network beyond sensory areas characterize conscious auditory perception independently of report

The paper identifies shared neural networks and bifurcation dynamics across sensory and extra-sensory regions that predict conscious auditory perception regardless of task.

How sleeping minds decide: state-specific reconfigurations of lexical decision-making

This study uses computational modeling to show how lexical decision-making adapts across different sleep states, revealing state-specific changes in cognitive processing strategies.

Live access to the emotional dynamics of REM sleep dreams in lucid dreamers with narcolepsy

This study investigates the emotional dynamics of REM sleep dreams in lucid dreamers with narcolepsy by collecting real-time emotional valence reports during naps.

Dynamic connectivity profiles characteristic of conscious states are associated with enhanced conscious processing of external stimuli

The paper shows that specific brain connectivity patterns during wakefulness enhance conscious processing of external stimuli, with mutual influence between brain dynamics and perception.

Processing of the same narrative stimuli elicits common functional connectivity dynamics between individuals

The paper shows that watching the same naturalistic movies leads to similar brain connectivity patterns across participants, with higher synchronization during engaging scenes.

Unifying turbulent dynamics framework distinguishes different brain states

This paper introduces a framework using turbulent dynamics to differentiate brain states by analyzing neuroimaging data with model-free and model-based measures.

Behavioral and brain responses to verbal stimuli reveal transient periods of cognitive integration of external world in all sleep stages

The paper investigates behavioral responses to verbal stimuli in sleep stages, finding reactivity in all stages except slow-wave sleep in healthy volunteers.

Conscious processing of narrative stimuli synchronizes heart rate between individuals

This study shows that heart rate synchronization between individuals occurs during conscious processing of narrative stimuli and is reduced when attention is distracted.
