Whether qualitative aspects of consciousness, or qualia in short, are equivalent across individuals is a foundational scientific question. Testing this is challenging because one cannot assume a shared mapping between stimuli and private experience (my “red” may be your “green”) [1–3]. Previously, we proposed a structural characterization of qualia [4, 5] and the quantitative assessment of...
Magneto/electroencephalography (M/EEG) studies of dreaming are an essential paradigm in the investigation of neurocognitive processes of human consciousness during sleep, but they are limited by the number of observations that can be collected per study. Dream research also involves substantial methodological and conceptual variability, which poses problems for the integration of results. To...
Dream experiences during sleep provide an excellent opportunity to investigate the neural basis of consciousness. Previous studies have examined the neural correlates of dreaming using electroencephalography (EEG), focusing on spectral power in specific frequency bands. However, findings have been inconsistent, particularly regarding the spatiotemporal characteristics of these correlates,...
