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.

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.

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.

The higher order approach to consciousness is defunct
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors take this fragmentation of sentential apriority and knowability and different notions of propositional apority and knowledge to be perhaps the most interesting upshot of the original puzzle.
Journal ArticleDOI
Know thyself: metacognitive networks and measures of consciousness.
TL;DR: It is hypothesize that wagering and other subjective measures of awareness reflect metacognitive capacities subtended by self-developed metarepresentations that inform an agent about its own internal states that influence PDW as a measure of awareness.

The Consciousness Paradox: Consciousness, Concepts, and Higher-Order Thoughts
TL;DR: Gennaro as mentioned in this paper proposes a version of the HOT theory of consciousness that he calls the "wide intrinsicality view" and shows why it is superior to various alternatives, such as self-representationalism and first-order representationalism.

Higher-order theories of consciousness
David Rosenthal,Josh Weisberg +1 more
TL;DR: The question about what distinguishes people and other creatures that can be conscious in that way from things that do not, such as stones and trees, is called the problem of creature consciousness.
