Twenty-four participants identified Arabic digits (2–3–4) by pressing a key with one hand, while their non-responding hand remained in a canonical (culturally-typical) or non-canonical finger posture. Results revealed faster reaction times in the left hemisphere when the hand was in a canonical posture but only when bodily and visual information matched within the same hemisphere.

This study directly examined the link between temporal action-effect prediction and auditory sensory attenuation, alongside assessing self-reported agency. Participants experienced self-initiated auditory effects with varying latencies and compared their loudness to a reference tone, whose intensities were modulated to measure auditory discrimination. Results showed no change in perceived loudness across delays, while agency ratings decreased with longer delays. A second experiment controlled for hazard rate effects, confirming initial findings. Our results contrast previous behavioral findings from the tactile modality and conclusions drawn from auditory electroencephalography. We suggest reconsidering auditory sensory attenuation as a necessary consequence of action-effect prediction and as an implicit measure of agency.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51358,"journal":{"name":"Consciousness and Cognition","volume":"130 ","pages":"Article 103837"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-03-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143579910","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using a crossover design, 34 participants (17 females, 17 males; avg. age 32.2, SD = 8.8) were randomized to 60 min of Floatation-REST or Bed-REST (a control condition on a waterbed). Floatation-REST induced significantly weaker body boundaries, significantly stronger time distortion, and significantly greater relaxation. Post-exposure, participants reported a significantly stronger afterglow, significantly more state mindfulness, and significantly greater interoceptive awareness.

Based on conceptual analysis and previous empirical data, we identify five states: focus, task-related interference, external distraction, daydream, and blank. We ask the question whether this classification (the Classification of Mental States − CoMS-5T) − provides an adequate partition of mental states. To do so, first, we rely on participants’ free verbal reports of their mental contents, that were then classified off-line by external raters. We provide evidence for the construct validity of the CoMS-5T and for its neutrality, in the sense that it does bias participants’ reports. Second, we provide evidence for the criterion validity of the CoMS-5T: by means of a reanalysis of a large data set made available by <span><span>Beikmohamadi and Meier (2022)</span></span>, we find distinct behavioural signatures for four of the five states in the CoMS.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51358,"journal":{"name":"Consciousness and Cognition","volume":"129 ","pages":"Article 103828"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-02-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143480323","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Oneunresolved issue is whether differences in detection times reflect unconscious or conscious processing. To answer this question, here we introduce a novel approach (reverse-bCFS [rev-bCFS]) that measures the time an initially visible stimulus requires to be suppressed from awareness. Results from two experiments using face stimuli indicate that rev-bCFS can capture conscious effects, which indicates that contrasting standard bCFS with rev-bCFS can isolate unconscious processing occurring specifically during bCFS. For example, while face inversion impacted both bCFS and rev-bCFS, effects were larger in bCFS, suggesting a distinct contribution of unconscious processing to the advantage of upright over inverted faces in accessing awareness. Combining standard bCFS and rev-bCFS may offer a fruitful approach to disentangle conscious and unconscious effects occurring during interocular suppression.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51358,"journal":{"name":"Consciousness and Cognition","volume":"129 ","pages":"Article 103830"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-02-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143437404","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
