The paper introduces normalized versions of Effort-To-Compress (ETC) to enable fair comparisons of symbolic complexity across different sequence lengths, alphabet sizes, and compositions.

This study shows that thalamic LIFU affects the latency of reporting conscious visual experience, with effects varying by target location and acoustic parameters.

This paper shows that task engagement in fMRI reorganizes infra-slow BOLD dynamics by redistributing power across frequencies rather than just adding to ongoing activity.

This study identifies four wave propagation motifs in the human brain across different states of consciousness and shows how they reconfigure in diminished and psychedelic states.

The paper examines integration-segregation patterns in brain networks across psychedelic and sedated states using functional MRI, finding opposing configurations in these states.

This study uses low-intensity focused ultrasound to modulate thalamic regions and shows how they affect visual perception and object recognition.

This study investigates how five psychedelic drugs affect local brain synchrony and global functional connectivity using fMRI, finding disrupted local synchrony and enhanced global connectivity across all drugs.

The paper introduces an fMRI-based measure of integration-segregation balance to differentiate conscious and unconscious brain states, finding significant shifts during anesthesia and sleep.

The paper uses fMRI to compare neural connectivity in psychedelic, sleep, and sedated states, finding global connectivity increases in psychedelics and decreases in sleep/sedation, supporting global theories of consciousness.

This study examines how propofol affects thalamic core-matrix architecture using fMRI in humans, finding a shift toward unimodal geometry during unconsciousness.

The paper identifies that co-activation of the ventral posterolateral nucleus and global brain activity correlates with physiological arousal but not perceptual awareness.

This study shows nitrous oxide reduces functional differentiation in brain networks and correlates with psychedelic experiences.

This study shows that both canonical and non-canonical psychedelics induce similar changes in brain network connectivity in humans.

This study shows that brain network criticality enables switching between internal and external processing modes, with distinct network configurations favoring each mode in conscious states.

The paper identifies cortical hubs associated with consciousness recovery in UWS patients and finds the anterior precuneus is a key region.

The paper identifies higher-order sensorimotor brain hubs that correlate with consciousness levels across different unconscious states using resting-state fMRI data.

The paper investigates intrinsic neural timescales in different behavioural states and finds that sensory deficits are associated with prolonged neural timescales, while motor deficits do not show such changes.

The paper examines how rest-task modulation affects global signal topography in fMRI data, showing it is linked to dynamic co-activation patterns and not fully explained by respiration effects.
