The paper investigates the timing of visual awareness by analyzing fixation-related potentials during a free visual search task, finding that awareness emerges around 130 ms and emotion processing requires awareness.

The paper investigates how frontoparietal cortex represents information across different stages of cognitive processing and finds that MD regions show flexibility in representing task demands.
