What your mind’s blank moments reveal about consciousness

by Thomas Andrillon
Thomas Andrillon is a researcher at INSERM and the Paris Brain Institute studying how brain activity shapes cognition and consciousness. His work focuses on the moments in which our brains are neither completely awake nor completely asleep, combining electrophysiology and experimental psychology to explore the functional significance of these spontaneous modulations of brain activity.
