Abstract:
The search for neural correlates of consciousness (NCC)
occupies the laboratory efforts of an increasing number of
scientists, and has gained the interest of many philosophers.
While some investigators have focused their attention on one
particular domain of sensory qualia, such as visual experience
(e.g., Crick and Koch 1995), others (e.g., Bogen 1998, Newman
1997) have sought for commonalities across domains in attempts to
develop general theories of NCC. The three chapters within this
section continue the search for the NCC of visual awareness, as
well as extend the exploration of NCC into the realms of altered
states of consciousness, psychiatric disorder.
