Neural Basis of Visual Consciousness

We investigate the neural mechanisms underlying conscious visual perception. Projects on this topic use visual illusions to dissociate sensation from perception, aiming to understand the contribution of neural interactions across different temporal and spatial scales to visual awareness. Currently, we are focusing on testing whether identified neural correlates of consciousness can be observed in human EEG/fMRI recordings, how strongly they depend on behavioral reports, and how neural variability influences perceptual states.
