Steps Toward a Neurophenomenology of Conscious Sleep

Windt’s groundbreaking commentary expands and enriches my target article by presenting new considerations against the default neuroscience view that “consciousness is that which disappears in dreamless sleep,” by proposing a refined conceptual and phenomenological analysis of dreamless sleep experience, and by offering a refined taxonomy of dreamless sleep experiences. These contributions provide new conceptual and methodological tools for the neurophenomenology of sleep and consciousness.
