Dissociating the Neural Basis of Conceptual Self-Awareness from Perceptual Awareness and Unaware Self-Processing
- Psychology, BiologyCerebral cortex
- 2017
Using a direct manipulation of conscious awareness, it is demonstrated for the first time that the neural basis of conceptual self-awareness is neuroanatomically distinct from the network mediating perceptual awareness of the sensory environment or unaware processing of self-related stimuli.
Self-recognition , Theory-of-Mind , and self-awareness in primates and right hemispheres
- Psychology, Biology

It is concluded that primates that display MSR most probably do not possess introspective self-awareness, and self-related processes most likely engage a distributed network of brain regions situated in both hemispheres.

The nature of the subjective aspect of consciousness is elusive and hence, there has been a lot of debate on how to quantify the subjective experience of a human in comparison to other living…

Modal Structure and Altered States of Consciousness
- PsychologyIIH-MSP
- 2017
A structured model of the phenomenon of consciousness is proposed, viewed as a multivariate combination of independent factors, which includes the variations and transitions of consciousness from a normal state of wakefulness to a psychopathological condition (with discrete deviations in subjective experience), and to severe clinical-neurological pictures.

Consciousness: individuated information in action
- PsychologyFront. Psychol.
- 2015
It is argued that conscious systems are limited globally by the ability to individuate information, whereas local limitations should be determined on the basis of a hypothesis about the action-oriented nature of the processes that select states of consciousness.
The consciousness state space (CSS)—a unifying model for consciousness and self
- PsychologyFront. Psychol.
- 2014
A phenomenological model for consciousness and selfhood which relates time, awareness, and emotion within one framework, which creates a broad theoretical framework with explanatory and unificatory power for the science of consciousness.
