A human intracranial map of consciousness returning from anesthesia

bioRxiv Preprint Server June 17, 2026 Xinyu Chen, Haoru Zhang, Xinran Deng et al. preprint

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...

Automatic binding of basic sensory features requires consciousness

bioRxiv Preprint Server December 10, 2025 Zhili Han, Hao Zhu, Qian Chu et al. preprint

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...
