Access of sensory information to consciousness is thought to be mediated through ignition of neural activity in the prefrontal cortex (PFC). Ignition occurs once activity elicited by sensory input crosses a threshold, which has been shown to depend on brain state fluctuations. However, the neural correlates of fluctuations and their interaction with the neural representations of conscious...
