Accurate localization of complex human experiences such as emotions, dreaming, creativity, and consciousness to specific cerebral structures or neural networks has remained elusive despite technological advances. We report the use of acute deep brain stimulation (DBS) to evoke behavioral and emotional effects by applying electrical stimulation (ES) at various voltage strengths to the...
The article investigates the narrative technique of the stream of consciousness and the linguistic means of its expression on the material of modernist novels by J. Joyce’s «Ulysses», and V. Woolf «Mrs. Dalloway». It is established that J. Joyce focuses on the Freudian realm of the unconscious, W. Wolf analyzes the shift of thoughts in the temporal plane – from the present to the past.

Although DEBs are associated with PTSD symptoms, their relationship with other sleep disorders, including REM behavior disorder, warrants reexamination of their clinical correlates. The investigators used a cross-sectional, exploratory analysis to compare demographic and clinical characteristics...
The Dream Catcher test defines the criteria for a genuine discovery of the neural constituents of phenomenal consciousness. Passing the test implies that some patterns of purely brain-based data directly correspond to the subjective features of phenomenal experience, which would help to bridge the explanatory gap between consciousness and brain. Here, we conducted the Dream Catcher test for the...
