However, research based on this simple contrast has led to controversies about the neural basis of conscious experience. One key reason for these ongoing debates seems to be that the simple contrast between conditions with and without consciousness is not specific for unraveling the neural basis of conscious experience, but rather also leads to other processes that precede or follow it. Acknowledging this methodological problem implies that some of the previous research findings about the neural underpinnings of conscious experience are actually reflecting the prerequisites and consequences rather than the direct correlates of conscious perception. Thus, it is required to re-evaluate the previous results to find out which of them are telling us anything about the neural basis of consciousness. But first and foremost, to overcome this methodological problem we need new experimental paradigms that go beyond the simple contrastive analysis or find the ways how some older but well forgotten paradigms may foster a new look at this emerging problem. Accordingly, this research topic is looking for empirical and theoretical contributions that: 1) envision new and suitable experimental approaches to study consciousness that are free from the limitations of the simple contrastive analysis; 2) provide empirical data that help to separate the neural correlates of conscious experience from the prerequisites and consequences of it; 3) help to re-assess previous research findings about the neural correlates of conscious perception in the light of the methodological problems with the traditional contrastive analysis. We hope that the theoretical insights and experimental approaches collected within this Research Topic help us to gain a more refined understanding of the neural basis of conscious experience. 606 $aConsciousness$xPhysiological aspects 606 $aNeurology$xResearch 606 $aPsychology 606 $aSocial sciences 606 $aPsychology$2HILCC 606 $aSocial Sciences$2HILCC 615 0$aConsciousness$xPhysiological aspects. 615 0$aNeurology$xResearch. 615 0$aPsychology. 615 0$aSocial sciences. 615 7$aPsychology 615 7$aSocial Sciences 702 $aAru$b Jaan 702 $aBachmann$b Talis 801 0$bPQKB 801 2$bUkMaJRU 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910137532803321 996 $aBeyond the simple contrastive analysis$92248466 997 $aUNINA
