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:

Attentional routes to conscious perception
Ana B. Chica,Paolo Bartolomeo +1 more
TL;DR: Evidence is shown that distinct sorts of spatial attention can have different effects on visual conscious perception, and Fronto-parietal networks important for spatial attention constitute plausible neural substrates for the interactions between exogenous spatial attention and conscious perception.
Journal ArticleDOI
Using Neuroscience to Help Understand Fear and Anxiety: A Two-System Framework.
Joseph E. LeDoux,Daniel S. Pine +1 more
TL;DR: It is argued that failure to recognize and consistently emphasize a distinction between circuits underlying two classes of responses elicited by threats has impeded progress in understanding fear and anxiety disorders and hindered attempts to develop more effective pharmaceutical and psychological treatments.
Journal ArticleDOI
A signal detection theoretic approach for estimating metacognitive sensitivity from confidence ratings.
TL;DR: The measure meta-d', which reflects how much information, in signal-to-noise units, is available for metacognition, is called, and is found that subjects' metacognitive sensitivity was close to, but significantly below, optimality.

Confidence in value-based choice
Benedetto De Martino,Benedetto De Martino,Stephen M. Fleming,Stephen M. Fleming,Stephen M. Fleming,Neil Garrett,Raymond J. Dolan +6 more
TL;DR: These findings provide a mechanistic link between noise in value comparison and metacognitive awareness of choice, enabling us both to want and to express knowledge of what the authors want.

Conscious Processing and the Global Neuronal Workspace Hypothesis.
George A. Mashour,Pieter R. Roelfsema,Pieter R. Roelfsema,Jean-Pierre Changeux,Jean-Pierre Changeux,Jean-Pierre Changeux,Stanislas Dehaene,Stanislas Dehaene +7 more
TL;DR: The GNW hypothesis proposes that, in the conscious state, a non-linear network ignition associated with recurrent processing amplifies and sustains a neural representation, allowing the corresponding information to be globally accessed by local processors.

Temporal Order is Coded Temporally in the Brain: Early Event-related Potential Latency Shifts Underlying Prior Entry in a Cross-modal Temporal Order Judgment Task
TL;DR: The results indicate that attention can indeed speed up neural processes during visual perception, thereby providing the first electrophysiological support for the existence of prior entry.
Journal ArticleDOI
Consciousness and its function.
TL;DR: It is concluded that the consciousness of cognitive and desiderative states is unlikely to be useful in these or related ways, which undermines a reliance on evolutionary selection pressures in explaining why such states so often occur consciously in humans.
Journal ArticleDOI
Unconscious errors enhance prefrontal-occipital oscillatory synchrony
TL;DR: This article showed that the medial prefrontal cortex (MFC) is critical for our ability to learn from previous mistakes, and demonstrated that pre-trial MFC-occipital synchrony is a plausible mechanism of MFCdriven cognitive control that is independent of conscious awareness.

Assumptions of subjective measures of unconscious mental states: higher order thoughts and bias
TL;DR: In this paper, two subjective measures of the existence of unconscious mental states -the guessing criterion, and the zero correlation criterion -and the assumptions underlying their application in experimental paradigms are considered.
Psychophysical magic: rendering the "invisible" visible
TL;DR: It is shown that features of unconscious elements can influence visual information processing and are not related to motor priming.
