Recent research has slowly corroded a belief that selective attention and consciousness are
so tightly entangled that they cannot be individually examined. In this review, we summarize …

A previous study has shown that diverting attention from binocular rivalry to a visual distractor
task results in a slowing of rivalry alternation rate between simple orthogonal orientations. …

Human actions are rich in social cues and play an essential role in interacting with the social
environment. Hence, the perception of biological motion (ie, movement elicited by humans …

The neural mechanisms underlying attentional selection of competing neural signals for
awareness remains an unresolved issue. We studied attentional selection, using perceptually …

The connection between perception and action has classically been studied in one direction
only: the effect of perception on subsequent action. Although our actions can modify our …

The brain's ability to handle sensory information is influenced by both selective attention
and consciousness. There is no consensus on the exact relationship between these two …

In a recent article entitled “When the world becomes ‘too real’: Bayesian explanation of autistic
