How consciousness arises from the brain remains a central yet unsolved question. Although substantial effort has been devoted to characterizing the neural correlates of conscious perception during wakefulness, how consciousness re-emerges from unconscious states remains poorly understood. Here, we took advantage of the rare opportunity to record human intracranial local field potentials from...
Conscious awareness requires establishing coherent percepts. Yet, whether consciousness is necessary for initiating the integration of basic sensory features remains unclear. Competing theories implicate distinct functional regimes of consciousness in the process of feature binding and creating conscious percepts. We used a novel multi-feature oddball paradigm with intracranial...
