The history of science includes numerous challenging problems, including the “hard problem”
(1) of consciousness: Why does an assembly of neurons—no matter how complex, such …

Subliminal stimuli can be deeply processed and activate similar brain areas as consciously
perceived stimuli. This raises the question which signatures of neural activity critically …

Following the discovery of context-dependent synchronization of oscillatory neuronal
responses in the visual system, the role of neural synchrony in cortical networks has been …

Solving the problem of consciousness remains one of the biggest challenges in modern
science. One key step towards understanding consciousness is to empirically narrow down …

The most critical attribute of human language is its unbounded combinatorial nature: smaller
elements can be combined into larger structures on the basis of a grammatical system, …

Noninvasive brain stimulation techniques are used in experimental and clinical fields for
their potential effects on brain network dynamics and behavior. Transcranial electrical …

Departing from traditional linguistic models, advances in deep learning have resulted in a
new type of predictive (autoregressive) deep language models (DLMs). Using a self-…

Transcranial electrical stimulation has widespread clinical and research applications, yet its
effect on ongoing neural activity in humans is not well established. Previous reports argue …

Here we explore whether mental training in the form of meditation can help to overcome age-related
attentional decline. We compared performance on the attentional blink task …

Previous experience allows the brain to predict what comes next. How these expectations
affect conscious experience is poorly understood. In particular, it is unknown whether and …
