Learning about Learning - by Directly Driving Networks of Neurons
... New behaviors require new patterns of neural activity among the population of neurons that control behavior. How can the brain find a pattern of activity appropriate for the desired behavior? Why does that learning process take time? To tackle questions like these, we reverse the normal order of ope ...

Neural correlates of consciousness
The neural correlates of consciousness (NCC) constitute the minimal set of neuronal events and mechanisms sufficient for a specific conscious percept. Neuroscientists use empirical approaches to discover neural correlates of subjective phenomena. The set should be minimal because, under the assumption that the brain is sufficient to give rise to any given conscious experience, the question is which of its components is necessary to produce it.
