Neural correlates of consciousness in an auditory no-report fMRI study Dellert et al. use functional magnetic resonance imaging and inattentional deafness to identify the neural basis of conscious auditory perception in humans. Their results reveal a dominant role of sti...

Using inattentional deafness, we show that awareness of task-irrelevant sounds mainly activates stimulus-specific sensory brain areas.

Investigating electrophysiological correlates of nonconscious processing of facial expressions using dichoptic forward masking Abstract. Affective stimuli, such as fearful faces, are assumed to receive prioritized processing over neutral stimuli, making them easier to detect when p

Early ERPs dissociate subjectively nonconscious low- and high-level face processing Abstract. There is an ongoing debate about the extent to which faces are processed if they are not consciously perceived. In the present study, we used eve

Neural correlates of consciousness in an attentional blink paradigm with uncertain target relevance Several event-related potentials (ERPs) have been proposed as neural correlates of consciousness (NCC), most prominently the early visual awareness ne…

Torge Dellert giving a talk on "Dissociating neural correlates of awareness, relevance and decision-making in the attentional blink", a study conducted in collaboration with Paula Temming, Miriam Pritz, Maximilian Bruchmann and Thomas Straube at the University of Münster

Very grateful to @theassc.bsky.social, @ademertzi.bsky.social, @estamatakis.bsky.social, Eleni Vasilaki and the vibrant community for a wonderful @assc28.bsky.social in Heraklion and the opportunity to give a talk on neural correlates of awareness in the attentional blink. It was great meeting you!

Many thanks to @biodgps-dgpa.bsky.social for this award and the inspiring @pug2025.bsky.social conference and to my coauthors Paula Temming, Miriam Pritz, Max Bruchmann and Thomas Straube for the nice collaboration! Looking forward to seeing you all in Heidelberg next year!

Using fMRI during a no-report inattentional deafness paradigm (N = 63), we show that awareness of task-irrelevant sounds mainly activates stimulus-specific sensory brain areas.
