Sensorimotor transformations for saccades in the primate posterior parietal cortex
Article Abstract:
Results from memory saccade experiments were discussed in relation to sensorimotor transformations postulated by Martha Flanders et al. Some of the monkeys manifest memory activity and reflect the kinematics of the forthcoming saccadic eye movement. These results indicate that the posterior parietal cortex may be involved in the representation of both target location in head-centered space and the sensorimotor transformations underlying the production of saccadic eye movements.

Models of conscious timing and the experimental evidence
Article Abstract:
Dennett and Kinsbourne state that the brain's stimuli unifying processes are distributed hence, resulting into a partially smeared point of view. This hypothesis does not explain our experience of a unified consciousness. Neural message transmission and computation are fast enough even when there are synapses. It is possible for an individual to discriminate and react to rapid stimuli (such as a 50 millisecond reaction time test) before being aware of the stimuli.
