Trends in Cognitive Sciences September 20, 2025 Andrew R Dykstra, Yunkai Zhu, Carolina Fernandez Pujol et al.

Our understanding of the neural basis of consciousness is mostly restricted to large-scale brain activity patterns as measured by methods such as functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and magneto/electro-encephalography (M/EEG). In contrast, we lack even basic understanding of circuit-level mechanisms supporting consciousness - particularly in humans - despite the fundamental role that...
