TLDR
This work defends the higher-order view against several major criticisms, such as prefrontal activity reflects attention but not awareness, and prefrontal lesion does not abolish awareness.

Continuous Theta Burst Stimulation to the left anterior medial prefrontal cortex influences metacognitive efficiency

TL;DR: In this article , the potential engagement of the anterior medial prefrontal cortex (aMPFC) in visual awareness judgements was tested with different Theta burst Stimulation (TBS) protocols in combination with a visual identification task and visual awareness ratings.

accuracy but increases decision confidence Direct injection of noise to the visual cortex decreases

TL;DR: Interestingly, occipital TMS also led to higher confidence ratings compared with stimulation to a control site (vertex), which was parsimoniously explained by a signal detec-tion model, in which TMS increased the variance of the underlying signal representation.

An adjunction hypothesis between qualia and reports

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors introduce the concept of adjunction from the category theory in mathematics, which allows to clarify the conceptual issues with a precise mathematical formulation and establishes coherence between two categories that cannot be considered equivalent, yet has an important relationship.

Perception of Recycled Plastics for Improved Consumer Acceptance through Self-Reported and Physiological Measures

TL;DR: In this article , three different materials (two recycled materials, M2 and M3, and one raw material, M1) were chosen for inspection through three different sensory conditions, which are referred to as channels (visual, tactile, and visuo-tactile).

Modelling aspects of consciousness: a topological perspective

TL;DR: This short note asks to what extent it is possible, in principle, for a mind to have an attention schema that is complete in the sense of being able to faithfully represent streams of attention.

What is it like to be a bat

TL;DR: Consciousness is what makes the mind-body problem really intractable as mentioned in this paper, which is why current discussions of the problem give it little attention or get it obviously wrong.

The Cognitive Neurosciences

TL;DR: The fourth edition of The Cognitive Neurosciences continues to chart new directions in the study of the biologic underpinnings of complex cognition -the relationship between the structural and physiological mechanisms of the nervous system and the psychological reality of the mind as discussed by the authors.

The Neural Basis of Decision Making

TL;DR: This work focuses on simple decisions that can be studied in the laboratory but emphasize general principles likely to extend to other settings, including deliberation and commitment.
