Non-physicalist Theories of Consciousness cambridge.org Dec 20, 2023 3 facts
claimNeuroscience can discover correlations between phenomenal states and conscious states, such as the correlation between the feeling of depression and low serotonin levels, or seeing the color red and activity in the visual cortex.
claimBrain scanning techniques such as PET and fMRI have revealed detailed correlations between specific conscious states and brain states, such as the correlation between seeing red and activity in the visual cortex, or anxiety and an overactive amygdala.
referenceIdentity theory posits that conscious states are constituted by specific physical states or processes, such as the feeling of pain being constituted by c-fibers firing, seeing red by neural activity in the visual cortex, or the feeling of love by neural activity involving serotonin and oxytocin.
The Problem of Hard and Easy Problems cambridge.org Mar 31, 2023 1 fact
referenceExperimental science often aggregates biological and functionalist notions of function, such as when Zeki (2015) summarized that the principal function of the visual cortex area V5 is to detect and signal visual motion based on lesion studies and artificial stimulation experiments.

referenceRajesh PN Rao and Dana H Ballard proposed a functional interpretation of extra-classical receptive-field effects in the visual cortex through predictive coding in their 1999 paper published in Nature Neuroscience.

claimThe lateral occipital cortex (LOC), a region of the visual cortex lateral to the fusiform gyrus, is the seat of figure-ground perception.
An adversarial collaboration to critically evaluate theories of ... biorxiv.org Jun 26, 2023 1 fact
claimThe study found information about conscious content in the visual, ventrotemporal, and inferior frontal cortex, with sustained responses in the occipital and lateral temporal cortex reflecting stimulus duration, and content-specific synchronization between frontal and early visual areas.
What a Contest of Consciousness Theories Really Proved quantamagazine.org Aug 24, 2023 1 fact
procedureVisual perception involves light patterns falling on the retina, which send signals to the visual cortex where upwards of 12 distinct neural modules process edges, color, and movement to build a final dynamic picture.

referenceBressloff PC and Cowan D published 'What geometric visual hallucinations tell us about the visual cortex' in Neural Computation in 2003, which discusses the relationship between geometric visual hallucinations and the functional architecture of the striate cortex.
4.5 Consciousness – Cognitive Psychology nmoer.pressbooks.pub 1 fact
claimIn patients with cortical blindness, visual cortex areas may still receive visual input through projections from the thalamus and superior colliculus, which allows for preserved visual abilities that occur without conscious awareness.
