内源性注意对元认知意识的影响：DLPFC-cTBS研究的概念验证

Background: While endogenous attention is known to influence visual metacognition, it remains unclear whether these effects occur without altering perceptual performance, and what specific role the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) plays in mediating them. Objective: We investigated whether spatial attention modulates subjective visibility and metacognitive efficiency independently of perceptual sensitivity (d′), and whether the DLPFC contributes to these effects. Methods: Across two experiments, participants completed a two-alternative forced-choice discrimination task embedded within a
