Davida Teller and Michael Rudd: Neural Correlates of Consciousness (NCC)

Abstract

The study of consciousness is back in fashion. In neurobiological circles, the question is being asked, what neurons or neural states provide the neural correlates of visual consciousness? Some scientists (e.g. Crick and Koch, 1998, Cerebral Cortex 8: 97-107) argue that this question is subject to empirical study. In this talk we will examine the best paradigms being put forward as research strategies for locating the NCC.
