title: The cognitive neuroscience of consciousness.
abstract: The past decade has seen an explosion of interest in the neural mechanisms underlying consciousness. Experimental approaches from cognitive neuroscience that emphasize converging evidence from multiple methodologies have changed our understanding of how conscious mental states are associated with patterns of brain activity. In this special issue of Cognitive Neuroscience, we bring together five new empirical contributions to this literature plus a new theoretical discussion paper and associated peer commentaries.
