  • Resumen
    • When it comes to consciousness, the brain may be doing just that. It now seems that conscious perception requires brain activity to hold steady far hundreds of milliseconds. This signature in the pattern of brainwaves can be used to distinguish between levels of impaired consciousness in people with brain injury. The new study by Aaron Schurger at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne doesn't explain the so-called "hard problem of consciousness"--how roughly a kilogram of nerve cells is responsible for the miasma of sensations, thoughts and emotions that make up our mental experience. However, It does chip away at it, and support the idea that it may one day be explained in terms of how the brain processes information.
