TLDR
The results support the notion that self-related processes are not necessarily engaged during sensory perception and can be actually suppressed, and show a complete segregation between the two patterns of activity.About:

TL;DR: The feasibility of assessing CTC and CPC white matter connectivity in vivo during the early stages of development is demonstrated and may help improve understanding of the role of the cerebellum in a wide range of neuromotor and neurocognitive disorders.

Thalamocortical Sensorimotor Circuit Damage Associated with Disorders of Consciousness for Diffuse Axonal Injury Patients
Shun Yao,Jian Song,Lichen Gao,Yan Yan,Cheng Huang,Huichao Ding,He Huang,Yuanzhi He,Ronghui Sun,Guozheng Xu +9 more
TL;DR: The results implicate that the WM damages in thalamocortical sensorimotor circuit and aberrant brain activity responding to self-awareness and sensation are critical factors to DAI, which expand the current understanding of the neural mechanisms underlying DAI.

TL;DR: Differences found in machine learning can provide a new understanding of the physiological mechanisms of brain regions under different tasks in fMRI data analysis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Consciousness Without Attention
TL;DR: It is argued that conscious entrainment is a form of consciousness associated with skilled behavior in which attention is sometimes absent, and is likely to be more successful than perceptual gist, imagistic consciousness, and phenomenal consciousness.
Journal ArticleDOI
The measurement problem in consciousness research
TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that perceptual awareness does not depend on a read-out by high-order cognitive access mechanisms, rather, it may emerge internally, through a cooperative coding dynamics, whereby each neuron simultaneously represents and reads-out the perceptual awareness state.

The Principles of Psychology
TL;DR: For instance, the authors discusses the multiplicity of the consciousness of self in the form of the stream of thought and the perception of space in the human brain, which is the basis for our work.

A default mode of brain function.
Marcus E. Raichle,Ann Mary MacLeod,Abraham Z. Snyder,William J. Powers,Debra A. Gusnard,Gordon L. Shulman +5 more
TL;DR: A baseline state of the normal adult human brain in terms of the brain oxygen extraction fraction or OEF is identified, suggesting the existence of an organized, baseline default mode of brain function that is suspended during specific goal-directed behaviors.

Descartes' Error: Emotion, Reason, and the Human Brain
TL;DR: The authors argued that rational decisions are not the product of logic alone - they require the support of emotion and feeling, drawing on his experience with neurological patients affected with brain damage, Dr Damasio showed how absence of emotions and feelings can break down rationality.
