中文简介:
了解大脑活动如何导致有意识的体验仍然是一项重大的实验挑战。我将描述一系列探索有意识处理的特征的实验。在这些实验中,我和我的同事们询问,当一个人突然意识到一条信息时,是否可以检测到特定类型的大脑活动。我们创造了最小的对比度,因此有时无法检测到相同的视觉刺激,有时也会有意识地看到。然后,我们使用电子和脑磁图的时间分辨方法来跟踪大脑活动的时间过程。结果表明,有意识的访问涉及通过许多皮层区域分布的晚期同步活动(皮质“点火”)的全局爆发。我们提出了一个全球神经元工作空间的理论,根据该理论,我们作为意识体验的是在具有长距离轴突的大规模锥体神经元网络中信息的全局可用性。这种知识现在被应用于监测非沟通患者的意识状态。使用实时信号处理技术,我们相信用简单的声音和两个记录电极进行几分钟的测试可能足以确定一个人是否有意识。
课程简介: Understanding how brain activity leads to a conscious experience remains a major experimental challenge. I will describe a series of experiments that probe the signatures of conscious processing. In these experiments, my colleagues and I ask whether a specific type of brain activity can be detected when a person suddenly becomes aware of a piece of information. We create minimal contrasts whereby the very same visual stimulus is sometimes undetected, and sometimes consciously seen. We then use time-resolved methods of electro- and magnetoencephalography to follow the time course of brain activity. The results show that conscious access relates to a global burst of late synchronized activity (a cortical “ignition”), distributed through many cortical areas. We propose a theory of a global neuronal workspace, according to which what we experience as a consciousness is the global availability of information in a large-scale network of pyramidal neurons with long-distance axons. This knowledge is now being applied to the monitoring of conscious states in non-communicating patients. Using real-time signal processing techniques, we believe that a few minutes of testing with simple sounds and two recording electrodes might suffice to determine whether a person is conscious.
