Self-related information automatically modulates early attentional selection into awareness through mechanisms distinct from physical salience, revealing an obligatory, individualized self-prioritization at the gateway to perception.
Evidence is provided suggesting that aggregate neural activity at an early stage of visual processing (V1) can directly contribute to perceptual decisions in humans.

Beta and gamma inhibitory rhythms are preferentially tuned to govern synaptic integration in layer 5 pyramidal neurons by differentially modulating responses to inputs targeting distal dendritic and perisomatic compartments.
