CONTACT:Psychology Reception
DESCRIPTION:Trial-by-trial variations in brain activity modulate the respo
 nse of the brain to external stimulation and can predict fluctuations in c
 onscious awareness. I will present a series of experiments in which we sho
 w how fluctuations in conscious awareness arise from the global pre-stimul
 us state of the brain in different experimental paradigms (multi-stable pe
 rception\, perceptual awareness at the visual threshold). \nGiven the intr
 icate link between brain and body\, I take this paradigm a step further an
 d show how cyclic variations in bodily signals across the cardiac and resp
 iratory phase and the mode of breathing can likewise modulate awareness-re
 lated brain activity and so contribute to awareness. \n\nHost: Prof Nicky 
 Clayton \n\nThis talk will be recorded and uploaded to the Zangwill Club "

 rse.
