Neuronal theories of conscious access tentatively relate conscious perception to the integration and global broadcasting of information across distant cortical and thalamic areas. Experiments contrasting visible and invisible stimuli support this view and suggest that global neuronal communication may be detectable using scalp electroencephalography (EEG). However, whether global information...
ABSTRACT One of the goals of the neuroscience of consciousness is to identify neural markers capable of distinguishing brain dynamics in awake, healthy individuals from unconscious conditions. This problem also has a clinical diagnostic interest in disorders of consciousness. Recent research has shown that brain connectivity patterns characterized by long-range interactions and anticorrelations...
