Sensorimotor conflicts alter metacognitive and action monitoring

Olaf Blanke, Roy Salomon, Fosco Bernasconi, Nathan Quentin Faivre, Laurène Véronique Vuillaume

While sensorimotor signals are known to modulate perception, little is known about their influence on higher-level cognitive processes. Here, we applied sensorimotor conflicts while participants performed a perceptual task followed by confidence judgments. ...

A biomimetic electrical stimulation strategy to induce asynchronous stochastic neural activity

Silvestro Micera, Stéphanie Lacour, Edoardo D'Anna, Emanuele Formento, Sandra Gribi

Objective.Electrical stimulation is an effective method for artificially modulating the activity of the nervous system. However, current stimulation paradigms fail to reproduce the stochastic and asynchronous properties of natural neural activity. Here, we ...

The unfolding argument: Why IIT and other causal structure theories cannot explain consciousness

Michael Herzog, Kathryn Hess Bellwald, Adrien Christophe Doerig, Aaron Schurger

How can we explain consciousness? This question has become a vibrant topic of neuroscience research in recent decades. A large body of empirical results has been accumulated, and many theories have been proposed. Certain theories suggest that consciousness ...

Multisensory perceptual awareness: Categorical or graded?

Olaf Blanke, Nathan Quentin Faivre

Neural evidence suggests that mechanisms associated with conscious access (i.e., the ability to report on a conscious state) are “all-or-none”. Upon crossing some threshold, neural signals are globally broadcast throughout the brain and allow conscious rep ...

Torso-mounted Vibrotactile Interface to Experimentally Induce Illusory Own-body Perceptions

Olaf Blanke, Hannes Bleuler, Giulio Rognini

Recent developments in virtual reality and robotic technologies have allowed investigating the behavioural and brain mechanisms that grounds self-consciousness in the multisensory (e.g. vision and touch) and sensorimotor processing of bodily signals. Yet, ...

Peri-personal space encoding in patients with disorders of consciousness and cognitive-motor dissociation

José del Rocio Millán Ruiz, Andrea Serino, Serafeim Perdikis

Behavioral assessments of consciousness based on overt command following cannot differentiate patients with disorders of consciousness (DOC) from those who demonstrate a dissociation between intent/awareness and motor capacity: cognitive motor dissociation ...

Coupling Inner and Outer Body for Self-Consciousness

Olaf Blanke, Hyeongdong Park

Although recent studies on self-consciousness emphasized the importance of bodily processing and multisensory integration, such research has focused solely on bodily signals originating from the outside of the body (i.e., exteroceptive bodily signals) or i ...

Heartbeat-evoked cortical responses: Underlying mechanisms, functional roles, and methodological considerations

Olaf Blanke, Hyeongdong Park

The heart continuously and cyclically communicates with the brain. Beyond homeostatic regulation and sensing, recent neuroscience research has started to shed light on brain-heart interactions in diverse cognitive and emotional processes. In particular, ne ...
