The neural correlates of conscious perception remain debated, particularly regarding the role of extra-sensory regions such as the prefrontal cortex. One promising approach is to study the dynamical properties of neural processing in task-related and task-free contexts. A previous EEG study showed that conscious perception is associated with all-or-none late activations, giving rise to...

Creativity is a hallmark of human cognition, characterized by the ability to connect seemingly distant concepts or ideas. Existing theories suggest that remote thinking can be achieved either spontaneously (constrained by the structure of semantic memory) or in a goal-directed manner (constrained by a creative goal). The present study investigates the neural correlates of goal-directed remote...
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...
