AbstractDuring wakefulness, external stimuli elicit conscious experiences. In contrast, dreams and drug-induced dissociated states, are characterized by vivid internally generated conscious experiences and reduced ability to perceive external stimuli. Understanding the physiological distinctions between normal wakefulness and dissociated states may therefore disambiguate signatures of responsiveness to external stimuli from those that underlie conscious experience.
