Conscious perception in daily life encompasses continuous experience and persistent percepts of visual inputs. However, the temporal dimension of consciousness, specifically neural mechanisms maintaining sustained conscious percepts over time, remains comparatively understudied. Many studies feature either brief stimulus durations or prolonged supraliminal stimuli without inducing an...

In the search for neural correlates of consciousness (NCCs), prominent theories disagree about the role of sensory versus widespread fronto-parietal brain activity. Research on auditory awareness has been widely neglected, and disentangling NCCs from correlates of task-related post-perceptual processes (e.g., report) is an ongoing challenge. In the present study, we addressed these issues using...

While inattentional blindness and deafness studies have revealed neural correlates of consciousness (NCC) without the confound of task relevance in the visual and auditory modality, comparable studies for the somatosensory modality are lacking. Here, we investigated NCC using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) in an inattentional numbness paradigm. Participants (N = 44) received weak...

Current theories of visual consciousness disagree about whether it emerges during early stages of processing in sensory brain regions or later when a widespread frontoparietal network becomes involved. Moreover, disentangling conscious perception from task-related postperceptual processes (e.g., report) and integrating results across different neuroscientific methods remain ongoing challenges....

In recent years, several ERP components have been identified as potential neural correlates of consciousness (NCC), including early negativities and late positivities. Based on experiments in the visual modality, it has recently been shown that awareness is often confounded with reporting it, possibly overestimating the NCC. It is unknown whether similar constraints also exist in the auditory...
