Stimuli are encoded differently in the brain when perceived consciously and unconsciously; for conscious perception, the representations are stronger in certain brain regions and they display more complex dynamics.

V1 damage impairs unconscious following movements of stimulus motion, even after conscious perception has been restored through psychophysical training, thus demonstrating distinct neural pathways for perception and action.

The strength of frequency-tagged neural activity during perceptual filling anti-correlates with the contents of consciousness, yet positively correlates with a neural measure of attention, dissociating these often confounded brain processes.

Brain-heart interactions under the processing of auditory irregularities could help to distinguish whether a patient is in a vegetative state or in a minimally conscious state.

Visual information can be maintained in non-conscious working memory for several seconds via short-term changes in synaptic weights.

Despite the widely held belief among researchers in consciousness that healthy observers can show unconscious perception, a study using a novel method to control for response biases finds no evidence for this phenomenon.

Conscious visual percepts are encoded by face patches in the absence of report, can be decoded from population recordings, and are multiplexed with the veridical physical stimulus.

A combined behavioural and electroencephalographic approach investigating the covert allocation of attention shows evidence for distributed periodic sampling away from a conscious visual image.

Asymmetric activation of the dysgranular mid-insula during interoceptive processing contributes to disrupted bodily awareness in individuals with anxiety, depression, and eating disorders.

Inducing illusory ownership of a fake hand increases the perceptual dominance of that hand during binocular rivalry.
