A neural representation of invisibility: when stimulus-specific neural activity negatively correlates with conscious experience
bioRxiv April 21, 2020 Matthew J Davidson, Will Mithen, Hinze Hogendoorn et al. preprint
Although visual awareness of an object typically increases neural responses, we identify a neural response that increases prior to perceptual disappearances , and that scales with the amount of invisibility reported during perceptual filling-in. These findings challenge long-held assumptions regarding the neural correlates of consciousness and entrained visually evoked potentials, by showing...
