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.About:

Journal ArticleDOI
Correlated individual differences suggest a common mechanism underlying metacognition in visual perception and visual short-term memory.
Jason Samaha,Bradley R. Postle +1 more
TL;DR: The current findings suggest that metacognition of visual perception and VSTM is supported by a domain-general metacognitive architecture, but only when both domains share the same task-relevant stimulus feature.
Journal ArticleDOI
A roadmap for the study of conscious audition and its neural basis
TL;DR: A roadmap for the future study of conscious auditory perception and its neural basis is outlined, paying particular attention to how conscious perception emerges (and of which elements or groups of elements) in complex auditory scenes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Predictive processing as a systematic basis for identifying the neural correlates of consciousness
Jakob Hohwy,Anil K. Seth +1 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that the predictive processing framework, precisely because it at the outset is not itself a theory of consciousness, has significant potential for advancing the neuroscience of consciousness.
Journal ArticleDOI
Who's afraid of response bias?
TL;DR: The conceptual importance of criterion effects in studies of conscious awareness is discussed: the authors need to treat them carefully, but not to avoid them without thinking, and how a fixation on avoiding criterion effects can also be misleading and detrimental to fruitful inquiry is discussed.
BookDOI
Behavioral Methods in Consciousness Research
TL;DR: This chapter introduces type I and II signal detection theory (SDT), and describes and evaluate signal detection theoretic measures of metacognition, and discusses practicalities for empirical research with these measures, with the aim of encouraging the use of SDT in research on metacognitive performance.

Signal detection theory and psychophysics
David M. Green,John A. Swets +1 more
TL;DR: This book discusses statistical decision theory and sensory processes in signal detection theory and psychophysics and describes how these processes affect decision-making.
Journal ArticleDOI
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.
Book
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
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.
