Metacognitive threshold: a computational account
arXiv Preprint Archive October 14, 2023 Brendan Conway-Smith, Robert L. West
The paper examines how a metacognitive threshold—the minimum stimulus required for a mental state to become conscious—can be modeled computationally. It discusses cognitive mechanisms that may allow this threshold to be lowered through metacognitive training and meditation practices, suggesting that such interventions could enhance awareness of subtle mental events.
