Journal ArticleDOI
Cellular and network mechanisms of rhythmic recurrent activity in neocortex.
TL;DR: The results demonstrate that the cerebral cortex generates an ‘up’ or depolarized state through recurrent excitation that is regulated by inhibitory networks, thereby allowing local cortical circuits to enter into temporarily activated and self-maintained excitatory states.
Journal ArticleDOI
From presence to consciousness through virtual reality
TL;DR: It is argued that presence is worthy of study by neuroscientists, and that it might aid the study of perception and consciousness.
Journal ArticleDOI
Enhancing Our Lives with Immersive Virtual Reality
Journal ArticleDOI
First person experience of body transfer in virtual reality.

TL;DR: It is shown that a first person perspective of a life-sized virtual human female body that appears to substitute the male subjects' own bodies was sufficient to generate a body transfer illusion, supporting the notion that bottom-up perceptual mechanisms can temporarily override top down knowledge resulting in a radical illusion of transfer of body ownership.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cellular and network mechanisms of slow oscillatory activity (<1 Hz) and wave propagations in a cortical network model.
TL;DR: A biophysical network model for the slow oscillations observed in vitro that reproduces the single neuron behaviors and collective network firing patterns in control as well as under pharmacological manipulations is presented and is shown to switch the network to tonic firing, thus simulating a transition to the waking state.
