Integration and segregation in whole-brain networks: implications for altered states of consciousness by Lord, L

“…</p> <p>The central focus of this Thesis is to investigate the <em>dynamical</em> properties of the integration/segregation balance in functional MRI data collected in two distinct altered states of consciousness: slow-wave sleep, and a psychedelic experience induced by intravenously administering psilocybin; the psychoactive compound in “magic mushrooms”. …”

Neural cognition processing of working memory in traumatic brain injury (TBI) patients - an ERP and a breamforming analysis of EEG and MEG data by Zahid, Aishah Sakinah

“…It is a non-degenerative, non-congenital revile to the brain that leads to temporary or permanent deterioration of cognitive, physical, and psychosocial functions, with an associated diminished or altered state of consciousness. Neural oscillations are basic and important mechanism that enables the synchronization of neural activity across and within brain regions and stimulates the exact temporal coordination of neural processes underlying cognitive tasks such as cognition, memory, perception, and behaviour. …”

Probing the depths of unconsciousness with multifunctional neurotechnology by Garwood, Indie C.

“…Innovation in the interrelated fields of anesthesia and psychiatry demands an improved understanding of the mechanisms behind altered states of consciousness. Studying the brain's functional equilibrium, and how it can be disrupted, has motivated increasingly high resolution and multifunctional neurotechnology. …”
