Burton's On Being Certain looks at the neural correlates of certainty - the feeling of knowing something.

Not, to be frank, a very memorable book, but one which you might find useful given your interests. It does offer a useful reduction of the term "intuition", breaking it down into "unconscious thoughts plus feeling of certainty".
