New paper published in PNAS Nexus
Congratulations to Benjy on his paper “Identifying content-invariant neural signatures of perceptual vividness” which is now published in PNAS Nexus
The study used data from different MEG and fMRI experiments to ask how the vividness of our perceptual experiences is encoded in the brain. We showed that there are signals in the brain that keep track of perceptual vividness independently from what is actually being perceived. This suggests there may be higher-order brain regions monitoring the reliability of our perceptual representations, and that this may contribute to our experience of vividness.
The paper is explained in more detail in Benjy’s Twitter thread.
