Empirical support for higher-order theories of conscious awareness
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:

Book ChapterDOI
De-confounding the neural constitution of phenomenal consciousness from attention, report and memory
TL;DR: This chapter discusses possible confounds that need to be carefully controlled for when the neural constitution of phenomenal conscious perception is studied, and necessity and sufficiency of report and memory for phenomenal consciousness.
Journal ArticleDOI
Brain Mechanisms of Conscious Awareness: Detect, Pulse, Switch, and Wave.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors advocate an open and optimistic approach where converging mechanisms in neuroscience research are discussed, where questions often outnumber the answers in the field of neuroscience research.
Journal ArticleDOI
Perceptual Representations and the Vividness of Stimulus-Triggered and Stimulus-Independent Experiences:
TL;DR: The aim is to foster information exchange by articulating a hypothesis about the fine-grained phenomenological structure determining subjective vividness and its possible neural basis that allows us to shed new light on these mental phenomena by bringing them under a common framework.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reorganization of the connectivity between elementary functions as a common mechanism of phenomenal consciousness and working memory: from functions to strategies
Jesper Mogensen,Morten Overgaard +1 more
TL;DR: Phenomenal consciousness may, however, overflow working memory because working memory in the present context is seen as a surface phenomenon reflecting underlying dynamic strategies—influenced by both experience and situational factors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Attention control and the attention schema theory of consciousness.
Andrew I. Wilterson,Casey M. Kemper,Noah Kim,Taylor W. Webb,Alexandra M.W. Reblando,Michael S. A. Graziano +5 more
TL;DR: Interactions between attention and awareness are examined to test predictions of attention schema theory and support the interpretation that attention control relies partly on an internal model that is responsible for claims of awareness.

Book
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.
