Champions!

Congratulations Basak Turker for the Prix de la Chancellerie 2024!

Check out the amazing brain-body interactions event coming next March to the Paris Brain Institute. We will have awesome speakers including @roysal.bsky.social, @sarahgarf.bsky.social, Morten Kringelbach, Catherine Tallon-Baudry, and others!

Interestingly, the occurrence of Pattern 1 increased following the detection of a threshold stimulus, indicating that participants were more prone to transitioning to this pattern, which seems to be favorable for conscious perception, when they detected the stimulus. (6/8)

We hypothesized that participants would be more likely to detect a stimulus at threshold if they exhibited this pattern that is most typical of conscious states (Pattern 1). As expected, detection rates were higher when Pattern 1 occurred during the stimulus presentation! (5/8)

Using phase-based functional connectivity and k-means clustering we computed recurrent brain patterns. Our patterns closely matched those found by Demertzi et al. (2019), with Pattern 1 corresponding to the pattern typical of conscious states, decreasing with unconsciousness. (4/8)

Participants performed an auditory detection task during fMRI acquisitions. They were asked to detect a French vowel /a/ embedded in continuous background noise at different signal-to-noise ratios (SNR). (2/8)
