How is an auditory conscious percept generated.

The central question in the present proposal is how humans generate an auditory conscious percept and what the neural correlates of auditory conscious percept are. The research method is based on functional imaging with quantitative electroencephalography and PET scans in people with normal hearing, individuals with a cochlear implant because of deafness, and those with phantom sound with a cortical implant. This project aims to contribute to the understanding of auditory consciousness specifically and consciousness at large.
