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:

Neurobiology of Consciousness: Current Research and Perspectives
TL;DR: In this paper, the main problems of discrepancy between neurobiological research and philosophical perspective are discussed, as well as the problems of working memory, attention, self, and disorders of consciousness.

Emotional Metacognition: Stimulus Valence Modulates Cardiac Arousal and Metamemory
Nicolas Legrand,Sebastian Scott Engen,Camile Maria Costa Correa,Nanna Kildahl Mathiasen,Niia Nikolova,Francesca Fardo,Micah Allen,Micah Allen,Micah Allen +8 more
TL;DR: Both recognition memory and metacognition are influenced by the emotional contents of encoded items and that this correlation is in part related to cardiac activity, indicating a robust effect of negative valence on physiological arousal during recognition memory.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reflexive theories of consciousness and unconscious perception
TL;DR: The reflexive theory of consciousness cannot partake in this argument and therefore must rely on at least one of the other arguments for the necessity claim as discussed by the authors, which are significantly less convincing than the argument from unconscious perception.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dissociating the Neural Correlates of Subjective Visibility from Those of Decision Confidence
TL;DR: This paper showed that prefrontal representations of subjective visibility are contaminated by neural correlates of decision confidence, and proposed a new analysis method to control for these metacognitive aspects of awareness reports, and use it to reveal confidence-independent correlates of perceptual judgments in a subset of prefrontal areas.
Dissertation
The neural substrates of non-conscious working memory
TL;DR: This work has shown that not only is it possible to be conscious of a fraction of all the neural activity underlying the authors' thoughts and behavior, but also how this activity affects their decision-making.

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.
