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
Minority reports: Consciousness and the prefrontal cortex
Matthias Michel,Jorge Morales +1 more
TL;DR: It is surmised that the requirement for reports is not a satisfying explanation of the difference in neural activity between conscious and unconscious trials, and that prefrontal theories of consciousness come out of this debate unscathed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Indicators and Criteria of Consciousness in Animals and Intelligent Machines : An Inside-Out Approach
TL;DR: It is argued that consciousness has a biological function, which is to present the subject with a multimodal, situational survey of the surrounding world and body, subserving complex decision-making and goal-directed behavior, while also taking into account intelligent artifacts.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Status and Future of Consciousness Research.
TL;DR: As it will be argued below, consciousness research may face problems in the future that are currently less debated but which are logical extensions of the challenges above.
Journal ArticleDOI
The limits of color awareness during active, real-world vision
TL;DR: Head-mounted virtual reality (VR) is used to place observers in immersive, dynamic real-world environments, which they naturally explored via saccades and head turns, and gaze-contingent rendering in immersive VR reveals the limits of color awareness during naturalistic viewing.
Journal ArticleDOI
Differential processing of invisible congruent and incongruent scenes: a case for unconscious integration.
Liad Mudrik,Christof Koch +1 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that incongruency between scene elements can be unconsciously processed even at impoverished presentation conditions, with reduced contrast and exposure durations as short as 33 ms, and contextual influences of unseen stimuli on the processing of a subsequent target are provided.

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.
