Core Contents:
An emerging property of the brain function is its oscillatory activity at multiple frequencies in relation to the level of vigilance, consciousness, and cognitive and sensorimotor information processes. Electroencephalographic techniques can unveil neurophysiological mechanisms of consciousness in healthy persons and patients with brain disorders. Dr. Aldo Ragazzoni will enlighten us on this fascinating and exciting angle of the Psychophysiology with the promise that our actual view of neurophysiological mechanisms generating human consciousness may be significantly enriched.
