Neural correlates of consciousness in humans
The primate visual system has been extensively investigated in the search for the neural correlates of conscious experience. This article reviews data from functional neuroimaging studies in humans and electrophysiological studies in monkeys and concludes that activity in extrastriate visual cortex correlates more closely with visual awareness than does activity in striate cortex, but that […]
The primate visual system has been extensively investigated in the search for the neural correlates of conscious experience. This article reviews data from functional neuroimaging studies in humans and electrophysiological studies in monkeys and concludes that activity in extrastriate visual cortex correlates more closely with visual awareness than does activity in striate cortex, but that prefrontal and parietal areas of cortex might also contribute to conscious visual experience.
