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:

The neural basis of consciousness.
TL;DR: The research in this area is flourishing and has already succeeded to delineate the neural and cognitive mechanisms involved in producing these three aspects of consciousness in surprising detail, including meta-consciousness.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that the neural basis of perceptual consciousness and perceptual monitoring involve evidence accumulation and conclude that gradual changes in neuronal dynamics during evidence accumulation relates to perceptual awareness and monitoring in humans.
Journal ArticleDOI
Consciousness is not a property of states: A reply to Wilberg
TL;DR: In this article, the authors argue that the possibility of targetless HOTs, that is, HOTs that represent one as being in a state that does not exist, undermines the higher-order thought theory of consciousness.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sniffing patterns uncover implicit memory for undetected odors.
TL;DR: Evidence is reported that consciously undetected odorants modulate sniffing in a predicted manner, implying that information which was not consciously perceived was nevertheless maintained in memory, available for future decision making.
Journal ArticleDOI
The human visual system differentially represents subjectively and objectively invisible stimuli.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors obtained functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) measurements from 43 subjects while they viewed masked faces and houses that were either subjectively or objectively invisible, and they found significant category information in both early, lower-level visual areas and in higher level visual cortex, although representations in anterior, category-selective ventrotemporal areas were less robust.

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.
