Consciousness and cerebral baseline activity fluctuations.
The origin of within-subject variability in perceptual experiments is poorly understood. We here review evidence that baseline brain activity in the areas involved in sensory perception predict subsequent variations in sensory awareness. We place these findings in light of recent findings on the architecture of spontaneous BOLD fluctuations in the awake human brain, and discuss the possible ori...
متن کاملBaseline brain activity fluctuations predict somatosensory perception in humans.
In perceptual experiments, within-individual fluctuations in perception are observed across multiple presentations of the same stimuli, a phenomenon that remains only partially understood. Here, by means of thulium-yttrium/aluminum-garnet laser and event-related functional MRI, we tested whether variability in perception of identical stimuli relates to differences in prestimulus, baseline brain...
متن کاملConsciousness and the cerebral cortex.
The scientific study of conciousness is difficult. Indeed, the enterprise seems to be almost a contradiction in terms. By most people's standards science cannot begin until the subject to be investigated has a definition, written down and generally agreed. "Consciousness" has no such definition. There have, in fact, been many serious attempts to remedy the situation. The most successful move co...
متن کاملPower of spontaneous BOLD signal and neural activity fluctuations is baseline-dependent
INTRODUCTION Evoked responses in functional studies show baseline dependence [1], i.e. in higher metabolic baseline state the functional response is smaller but delocalized, whereas lower metabolic baseline shows higher amplitude localized responses. Other human studies [2] showed that spontaneous fluctuations in BOLD signal seem to be important in local variability or trial-to-trial reproducib...
متن کاملBaseline brain energy supports the state of consciousness.
An individual, human or animal, is defined to be in a conscious state empirically by the behavioral ability to respond meaningfully to stimuli, whereas the loss of consciousness is defined by unresponsiveness. PET measurements of glucose or oxygen consumption show a widespread approximately 45% reduction in cerebral energy consumption with anesthesia-induced loss of consciousness. Because basel...
