The theta rhythm—a slow (6–12 Hz) oscillatory component of the local field potential—plays
a critical role in spatial navigation and memory by coordinating the activity of neuronal …

Everyday tasks in social settings require humans to encode neural representations of not only
their own spatial location, but also the location of other individuals within an environment. …

Uncovering the neural mechanisms underlying human natural ambulatory behavior is a
major challenge for neuroscience. Current commercially available implantable devices that …

The full neural circuits of conscious perception remain unknown. Using a visual perception
task, we directly recorded a subcortical thalamic awareness potential (TAP). We also …

Background Electrocorticography studies are typically conducted in patients undergoing
video EEG monitoring, but these studies are subject to confounds such as the effects of pain, …

Direct recordings from the human brain have historically involved epilepsy patients undergoing
invasive electroencephalography (iEEG) for surgery. However, these measurements are …

Consciousness is not explained by a single mechanism, rather it involves multiple specialized
neural systems overlapping in space and time. We hypothesize that synergistic, large-…

How the human brain supports accurate navigation of a learned environment has been an
active topic of research for nearly a century 1 – 5 . In rodents, the theta rhythm within the …

The neurophysiological mechanisms in the human amygdala that underlie post-traumatic
stress disorder (PTSD) remain poorly understood. In a first-of-its-kind pilot study, we recorded …

Understanding consciousness is one of the most important and challenging questions in
modern science. Existing theories have pursued single unifying mechanisms but do not …
