Meditation states and traits: EEG, ERP, and neuroimaging studies. (2006, background): “The lack of V1 activation during the visualization meditation adds to a considerable body of evidence suggesting that it is not part of the necessary neural substrate of visual awareness (Koch, 2004).”
The Conscious Id (2013, background): “ascending reticular activating system), cholinergic pathways from the brainstem and basal forebrain, and the intralaminar nucleus of the thalamus (Koch, 2004).”
Consciousness in the Universe: Neuroscience, Quantum Space-Time Geometry and Orch OR Theory (2011, background): “An enormous amount of detailed knowledge about brain function has accrued; however the mechanism by which the brain produces consciousness remains mysterious (Koch, 2004).”
Consciousness: here, there and everywhere? (2015, background): “(b) Neural correlates of consciousness The neural correlates of consciousness (NCC) have been defined as the minimal neural mechanisms that are jointly sufficient for any one conscious percept, thought or memory, under constant background conditions (figure 1b) [1,23,24].”
Inductive biases for deep learning of higher-level cognition (2020, background): “bottleneck may thus also play a role in forcing the emergence of such a lingua franca [158,159,181]: the same information received by module A (e.”
Consciousness as Integrated Information: a Provisional Manifesto (2008, background): “Are primary sensory cortices organized like massive afferent pathways to a main complex higher up in the cortical hierarchy (Koch, 2004)?”
Perspective - Tacit Knowledge and Knowledge Conversion: Controversy and Advancement in Organizational Knowledge Creation Theory (2009, background): “Moreover, Koch (2004) presents work showing that people have the cognitive capacity to reflect and use explicit knowledge to detect errors already made unconsciously, based on their tacit knowledge.”
AN EYE FOR WORDS (2013, background): “Although attention and awareness co-occur to some extent on a practical, behavioral level (James, 1890 ; Koch, 2004 ; Posner, 1994 ; Schmidt, 1995 ; Wyart & Tallon-Baudry, 2008 ), we believe that researchers should be as explicit and precise as possible regarding which process—attention or…”
Sustainability labels on coffee: Consumer preferences, willingness-to-pay and visual attention to attributes (2015, background): “Top-down or goal-directed form of attention, on the other hand, is caused by the voluntary search for specific information (Koch, 2004) based on pre-existing preferences, interests, personal goals and involvement (Ares et al.”
What is the function of the claustrum? (2005, background): “It has been argued (Clark & Squire 1998; Koch 2004) that trace associative conditioning of mice is a task that requires awareness of the contingency between neutral and aversive stimuli.”
From the Phenomenology to the Mechanisms of Consciousness: Integrated Information Theory 3.0 (2014, background): “Behavior and reportability can be reliable guides under ordinary conditions (typically adult awake humans) and can be employed to evaluate neural correlates of consciousness [9] and to validate theoretical constructs [14].”
Language emergence: Implications for applied linguistics - Introduction to the special issue (2006, background): “The bright spot is further surrounded by a 'fringe' (Mangan 1993) or 'penumbra' (James 1890; Koch 2004: ch. 14) of associated, vaguely conscious events.”
