| summary | My goal is to understand the psychological characteristics and the neural mechanisms of conscious perception. My project exploits two dynamic properties that I have contributed to reveal. First, the existence of a discontinuous jump in global cerebral activity during conscious access. Second, the discovery of the « retroperception » phenomenon, which shows that conscious access is flexible in time and is triggered by the reactivation of sensory areas by higher level areas. My project builds upon these discoveries in order to deepen our understanding of the mechanisms of conscious access in healthy adult volunteers, using experimental psychology, fMRI, MEG, EEG and intracranial recordings. The results of this fundamental research will also be the basis for constructing EEG tools for the diagnosis of consciousness in patients in a vegetative of minimally conscious state |
