  • On May 8Th, 2008 Human Brain Mapping (HBM) Published a Paper by A
    Date: 16 June 2008 Dear Editors and Colleagues: On May 8th, 2008 Human Brain Mapping (HBM) published a paper by A. Shmuel and D. Leopold entitled “Neuronal correlates of spontaneous fluctuations in fMRI signals in monkey visual cortex: Implications for functional connectivity at rest” (DOI: 10.1002/hbm.20580). The authors are former postdoctoral fellows of mine and the data were collected in my laboratory, so it is with some unhappiness that I write to you to disavow the paper’s contents and conclusions, and to let you know that my colleagues and I are preparing a rebuttal for publication. My objections to the paper are both technical and ethical. The technical problem is that most of the measurements reported in the paper to be “at rest” were taken from the prestimulus interval of long observation periods with multiple trials during which visual stimuli were presented. The data came from another study of my laboratory (Shmuel, Augath, Oeltermann and Logothetis, 2006). In fact, a grey screen with a significant flicker at 30 and 60 Hz evoked electrical cortical activity, making it wrong to suppose that the comparison of neural with hemodynamic signals was within a rest period during which spontaneous activity alone prevailed (details in the rebuttal). This renders the conclusion in the paper, and thus the paper itself, invalid. These points were pointed out to the authors and to the editors as well, but the editors chose to accept it even in spite of the questionable ethical conduct of the authors, which the editors were also aware of, or should have been aware of (see below).

  • On the Search for the Neural Correlate of Consciousness
    On the Search for the Neural Correlate of Consciousness David J. Chalmers Philosophy Program Research School of Social Sciences Australian National University I will discuss one aspect of the role that neuroscience plays in the search for a theory of consciousness. Whether or not neuroscience can solve all the problems of consciousness singlehandedly, it undoubtedly has a major role to play. Recent years have seen striking progress in neurobiological research bearing on the problems of consciousness. The conceptual foundations of this sort of research, however, are only beginning to be laid. I will look at some of the things that are going on, from a philosopher’s perspective, and will try to say something helpful about these foundations. We have all been hearing a lot about the “neural correlate of consciousness”. This phrase is intended to refer to the neural system or systems primarily associated with conscious experience. The acronym of the day is “NCC”. We all have an NCC inside our head, we just have to find out what it is. In recent years we have seen quite a few proposals about the identity of the NCC. One of the most famous proposals is Crick and Koch’s suggestion concerning 40-hertz oscillations. That proposal has since faded away a little but there are all sorts of other suggestions out there. The picture is almost reminiscent of particle physics, where they have something like 236 particles and people talk about the “particle zoo”. In studying consciousness, one might talk about the “neural correlate zoo”. A brief list of suggestions that have been put forward includes: • 40-hertz oscillations in the cerebral cortex (Crick and Koch 1990).

    XXthth International Conference on Cognitive Neuroscience September 11stst --55thth 2008 Bodrum Turkey www.iconxbodrum.org On-line abstract submission and registration Organised by: BRAIN RESARCH SOCIETY, TURKEY INVITATION Dear Neuroscientist, Xth International Conference on Cognitive Neuroscience (ICON X) is approaching and we are pleased to highlight some aspects of its exciting programme that should not be missed. ICON X is intended to promote interdisciplinary dialogue in the scientific study of cognition. The conference will address current empirical and theoretical issues in the study of cognition, from the perspectives of neuroscience, psychology, clinical medicine, and computational science. ICON X will be held from September 1st to September 5th 2008 in Bodrum, Turkey. Beyond being a lively, popular holiday resort on the Aegean Sea, Bodrum has an incredibly rich past as a place where people have lived continuously for thousands of years. Its position in or near so many of the great civilizations and events of ancient history also makes Halicarnassus (Bodrum's ancient name) an interesting site to visit . So, the meeting promises to be both intellectually stimulating and culturally interesting! Please visit the ICON X web site at www.iconxbodrum.org . On-line abstract submission and registration pages are now active. Abstract submission deadline is May 15th and early registration deadline with reduced fee is June 1st. Submissions for both posters and talks will be accepted. Any person may present only two submissions, but may be co-author on more than two. Even if you do not want to submit an abstract now , please register yourself as a user of the WEB page, so that we can inform you about the updates.

  • Are There Neural Correlates of Consciousness? 5
    Alva Noë and Evan Thompson Are There Neural Correlates 1 of Consciousness? In the past decade, the notion of a neural correlate of consciousness (or NCC) has become a focal point for scientific research on consciousness (Metzinger, 2000a). A growing number of investigators believe that the first step toward a science of consciousness is to discover the neural correlates of consciousness. Indeed, Francis Crick has gone so far as to proclaim that ‘we … need to discover the neural correlates of consciousness.… For this task the primate visual system seems especially attractive.… No longer need one spend time attempting … to endure the tedium of philosophers perpetually disagreeing with each other. Con- sciousness is now largely a scientific problem’ (Crick, 1996, p. 486).2 Yet the question of what it means to be a neural correlate of consciousness is actually far from straightforward, for it involves fundamental empirical, methodological, and philosophical issues about the nature of consciousness and its relationship to the brain. Even if one assumes, as we do, that states of consciousness causally depend on states of the brain, one can nevertheless wonder in what sense there is, or could be, such a thing as a neural correlate of consciousness. Our focus in this paper is one particular way of thinking about the neural cor- relates of visual consciousness that has become widespread among philosophers of mind and cognitive neuroscientists alike. According to this way of thinking, which we call the matching-content doctrine, the first task of the neuroscience of Correspondence: Alva Noë, Department of Philosophy, University of California, Berkeley CA 94720-2390, USA.

  • Studying Conscious and Unconscious Vision with Fmri: the Bold Promise
    STUDYING CONSCIOUS AND UNCONSCIOUS VISION WITH FMRI: THE BOLD PROMISE Thesis by Julien Dubois In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy California Institute of Technology Pasadena, California 2013 (Defended May 29, 2013) ii © 2013 Julien Dubois All Rights Reserved iii To my wife Christine, whose face I consciously perceive every morning when I open my eyes, and it makes me so happy. iv v ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Every single day I wake up and I am grateful. Yes, even on those days while I was writing this thesis, an infamously grueling experience. I have always been free to pursue my dream, even if it has been in constant evolution. When I was in high school, my dream was to study and save the tigers with an organization like the World Wildlife Fund. Then, as my studies went on, my dream evolved into wanting to solve the puzzle of how our planet got to be what it is (I got a bachelor’s and master’s degree in earth and atmospheric sciences). My dream evolved further into wanting to understand how life started (I got a master’s degree in biochemistry, focused on the origins of life). But my dream was not done maturing yet. I gave it a little more time to do so, and went traveling around the world with my favorite person on this planet. During my travels, I came across Christof Koch’s 2004 book, The Quest for Consciousness, and my dream finally entered puberty. I needed to understand the brain! I needed to understand what made us do everything that we did, know everything that we knew, feel everything that we felt, discover everything that we discovered.
