DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Uncovering the neural mechanisms that allow consciou
 s access to information is a major challenge of neuroscience. An incomplet
 e list of still open questions includes: What are the necessary brain comp
 utational properties to permit access to a stream of conscious contents? W
 hat is the relationship between conscious perception\, self-awareness and 
 multisensory processing of bodily signals? How do these processes change w
 hen the brain transitions to an ‘unconscious’ state (like sleep\, anes
 thesia or pathological conditions)? Can we externally trigger state-of-con
 sciousness transitions by means of stimulation?\n \nIn this presentation D
 r. Sitt will present his work and latest developments including different 
 pre-clinical and clinical experimental models (brain-injuries and/or anest
 hesia)\, neuroimaging methods (EEG\, fMRI and brain/body interactions) and
  stimulation techniques (tES\, auditory/somatosensory/visual stimulation).
  Overall Dr. Sitt will try to demonstrate that the integration of multimod
 al neural information provides critical information to characterize the st
 ate-of-consciousness in physiological and pathological conditions and migh
 t help to predict novel optimal therapeutic strategies.
