TLDR
This introductory chapter attempts to clarify the philosophical, empirical, and theoretical bases on which a cognitive neuroscience approach to consciousness can be founded and proposes a theoretical framework that synthesizes those facts: the hypothesis of a global neuronal workspace.

Working memory: looking back and looking forward

TL;DR: The concept of working memory proposes that a dedicated system maintains and stores information in the short term, and that this system underlies human thought processes.
Journal ArticleDOI

The economy of brain network organization

TL;DR: It is proposed that brain organization is shaped by an economic trade-off between minimizing costs and allowing the emergence of adaptively valuable topological patterns of anatomical or functional connectivity between multiple neuronal populations.

The restless mind

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors review the hypothesis that mind-wandering can be integrated into standard executive models of attention and show that it often occurs in the absence of explicit intention.

Experimental and Theoretical Approaches to Conscious Processing

TL;DR: Converging neuroimaging and neurophysiological data point to objective neural measures of conscious access: late amplification of relevant sensory activity, long-distance cortico-cortical synchronization at beta and gamma frequencies, and "ignition" of a large-scale prefronto-parietal network.
Journal ArticleDOI

Conscious, preconscious, and subliminal processing: a testable taxonomy.

TL;DR: A taxonomy is proposed that distinguishes between vigilance and access to conscious report, as well as between subliminal, preconscious and conscious processing, and that conscious perception is systematically associated with surges of parieto-frontal activity causing top-down amplification.

A feature-integration theory of attention

TL;DR: A new hypothesis about the role of focused attention is proposed, which offers a new set of criteria for distinguishing separable from integral features and a new rationale for predicting which tasks will show attention limits and which will not.

Distributed Hierarchical Processing in the Primate Cerebral Cortex

TL;DR: A summary of the layout of cortical areas associated with vision and with other modalities, a computerized database for storing and representing large amounts of information on connectivity patterns, and the application of these data to the analysis of hierarchical organization of the cerebral cortex are reported on.

Protocol Analysis: Verbal Reports as Data.

TL;DR: This article reviewed major advances in verbal reports over the past decade, including new evidence on how giving verbal reports affects subjects' cognitive processes, and on the validity and completeness of such reports.
