Connectome-based brain fingerprints predict early cognitive decline in Parkinson's patients with minor hallucinations

The paper uses connectome-based brain fingerprinting to identify early cognitive decline markers in Parkinson's patients with minor hallucinations using resting-state fMRI.

Presence Hallucination Induction through Robotically Mediated Somatomotor Conflicts: a pooled analysis of 26 experiments

The paper pools data from 26 experiments to analyze the induction of presence hallucinations using a robotics-based protocol, finding medium effect sizes and associations with schizotypal traits and passivity.

Subcortical correlates of consciousness with human single neuron recordings

The paper uses human single neuron recordings to show that subthalamic nucleus and thalamus neurons modulate activity during vibrotactile stimulus detection, suggesting their role in consciousness.

Robotically-induced auditory-verbal hallucinations: combining self-monitoring and strong perceptual priors

This paper develops a robotic procedure to induce auditory-verbal hallucinations in healthy individuals, supporting both self-monitoring and strong perceptual priors theories.

Theta oscillations and minor hallucinations in Parkinson's disease reveal decrease in frontal lobe functions and later cognitive decline

The paper investigates if minor hallucinations in Parkinson's disease are linked to frontal theta oscillations and cognitive decline, finding a correlation between these factors and later cognitive impairment.

Digital-robotic markers for hallucinations in Parkinson's disease

This paper develops a digital marker using numerosity estimation in virtual reality to quantify hallucinations in Parkinson's disease patients, showing it is effective in both lab and home settings.

Single neurons in thalamus and subthalamic nucleus process cardiac and respiratory signals in humans

The paper investigates single neuron activity in thalamic and subthalamic regions of humans, finding that about 70% of neurons respond to cardiac or respiratory signals, with some neurons responding to both.

Evidence accumulation determines conscious access

The paper shows that perceptual consciousness and reflexive monitoring are governed by evidence accumulation, using neuronal recordings and a computational model.

Sensorimotor hallucinationsin Parkinson's disease

This study uses robotics to induce hallucinations in Parkinson's disease patients and identifies a disrupted neural network associated with sensorimotor hallucinations.

Sensorimotor conflicts alter perceptual and action monitoring

This study investigates how sensorimotor conflicts affect perceptual and action monitoring by manipulating bodily self-consciousness through experimental tasks.

Audio-tactile and peripersonal space processing around the trunk in human parietal and temporal cortex: an intracranial EEG study

This study uses intracranial EEG to show that peripersonal space processing around the trunk in humans involves multisensory integration and spatial modulation in specific brain regions.
