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:

Connectivity of Frontoparietal Regions Reveals Executive Attention and Consciousness Interactions.
TL;DR: Results demonstrate that conscious perception and executive control share neural resources in frontoparietal networks, as proposed by some influential models.

On a ‘failed’ attempt to manipulate visual metacognition with transcranial magnetic stimulation to prefrontal cortex
TL;DR: Using computer simulations, it is shown that, contrary to their supposed purpose, excluding subjects by Bor et al.'s criteria does not reduce false positive rates, and the correct interpretation is that PFC stimulation likely impaired visual metacognition, exactly contradicting Bor etAl.

TL;DR: Two experiments investigate the influence of decision and response on metacognitive accuracy in a memory task so as to establish what kind of information people use to assess their memory content.
Journal ArticleDOI
Body ownership promotes visual awareness
TL;DR: In binocular rivalry experiments, the results show that ownership, but not mere visuotactile stimulation, increases the dominance of the hand percept, and suggest that the sense of body ownership promotes visual awareness.
Journal ArticleDOI
A systematic investigation of the association between network dynamics in the human brain and the state of consciousness.
TL;DR: A longitudinal fMRI study in patients recovering from coma suggests that changes in brain dynamics are indeed linked to the state of consciousness and not just to a general level of behavioral responsiveness.

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.

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.
