Recent research has underscored the rhythmic nature of visual perception, yet the connection between these perceptual rhythms, conscious awareness, and their underlying mechanisms remains largely elusive. This study employed a fine-grained temporal priming paradigm to investigate the oscillatory dynamics of face perception. In Experiment 1, we manipulated the awareness of prime stimuli to...
Activity in the early visual cortex is thought to tightly couple with conscious experience, including feedback-driven mental imagery. However, in aphantasia (a complete lack of visual imagery), the state of mental imagery, what takes its place, or how any activity relates to qualia remains unknown. This study analyzed univariate (amplitude) and multivariate (decoding)...
Abstract Activity in early visual cortex is thought to tightly couple with conscious experience, including feedback-driven mental imagery. However, the state of mental imagery, what takes its place or how any activity relates to qualia in those with aphantasia (a complete lack of visual imagery) remains unknown. In the current study, univariate (amplitude) and multivariate (decoding) BOLD...
