How the brain produces consciousness in “time slices”

How the brain produces consciousness in “time slices” | Bioscience News - GEG Tech top picks | Scoop.it
BigField GEG Tech's insight:

EPFL scientists propose a new way of understanding how the brain processes unconscious information into our consciousness. According to the model, consciousness arises only in time intervals of up to 400 milliseconds, with gaps of unconsciousness in between.
