Yet basic questions about the precise timing, location and dynamics of the neural event(s) allowing conscious access to information are not clearly and unequivocally determined. Some neuroscientists have even argued that consciousness may arise from a single "seat" in the brain, though the prevailing idea attributes a more global network property. Do the neural correlates of consciousness correspond to late or early brain events following perception? Do they necessarily involve coherent activity across different regions of the brain, or can they be restricted to local patterns of reverberating activity? http://www.physorg.com/news156522772.html Medicine & Health Tue, 17 Mar 2009 15:33:48 EST news156522772 Rights groups called on Google, Yahoo! and Microsoft on Friday not to censor their Web search engines one day next week to help protest cyber censorship. http://www.physorg.com/news155574479.html Technology Fri, 06 Mar 2009 15:08:29 EST news155574479 North European countries and South Korea have the fastest and most widespread telecoms and computer growth in the world, the UN's telecomunications agency said on Monday. http://www.physorg.com/news155192319.html Technology Mon, 02 Mar 2009 04:59:03 EST news155192319
