The term perceptual awareness refers to subjective experience... or the phenomenology associated with the processing of a sensory stimulus. The term metacognition refers to our ability of introspection, knowledge and control of our own cognitive processes. The objective of this research is to establish the contribution of the basal ganglia and thalamus to the perceptual awareness and meta-cognition, using deep brain stimulation coupled with electroencephalography.
