EEG microstates as a tool for studying the temporal dynamics of whole‐brain neuronal networks: A review (2017, neutral): “Similar models were proposed by Baars and colleagues (Baars, 1997; Baars, 2002a), who concluded the following: “If conscious events are associated with global states of the dynamic core, such that only one such event can prevail at any one time, it follows that global states of the core appear…”
Navigating Into the Future or Driven by the Past (2013, neutral): “And I’m meeting Phil Voss for dinner at Le Bec Fin in only 5 hr.”
A Survey of Artificial Cognitive Systems: Implications for the Autonomous Development of Mental Capabilities in Computational Agents (2007, positive): “He deploys the global workspace model [149], [150] of information flow in which a sequence of states emerges from the interaction of many separate parallel processes (see Fig.”
Multisensory Integration in Complete Unawareness (2014, positive): “This phenomenological observation is central to most theories of consciousness that postulate strong interdependencies between integration and consciousness (e.g., Baars, 2002; Dehaene & Changeux, 2011; Tononi, 2008, 2011).”
How Brain Reveals Mind Neural Studies Support the Fundamental Role of Conscious Experience (2003, positive): “(From Baars, 2002a. Graphics by Thomas Ramsoy, www.sci-con.org). brain treats conscious and unconscious sensory perception.”
Consciousness: A Mathematical Treatment of the Global Neuronal Workspace Model (2005, neutral): “A similar review by Baars ( 2002 ) provides a slightly different perspective , examining his own pioneering studies ( Baars , 1983 , 1988 ) , along with the work of Damasio ( 1989 ) , Edelman ( 1989 ) , Edelman and Tononi ( 2000 ) , Freeman ( 1991 ) , Llinas et al .”
Can fish suffer?: perspectives on sentience, pain, fear and stress (2004, neutral): “A fundamental tenet among these hypotheses is that the neural basis of consciousness involves widespread integration of differentiated pallial and sub-pallial neuronal populations within the brain (Baars, 2002).”
Global Workspace Dynamics: Cortical “Binding and Propagation” Enables Conscious Contents (2013, positive): “As evidence for higher level binding has built up, it is now also applied to the integrationof cortex and thalamus (Baars, 1988, 2002; Dehaene and Naccache, 2001; Baars and Franklin, 2003, 2007; Dehaene et al., 2006; Shanahan, 2010, 2012; Dehaene and Changeux, 2011; etc.).”
Biology of Consciousness (2010, neutral): “…as well as their modulation by attention (Knudsen, 2007). the GlobAl workspAce And consciousness As a result of the growth and integration of cognitive and neuroscientific evidence, it is now evident that Global Workspace theory (Baars, 1988, 2002) is complementary to the Dynamic Core hypothesis.”
A Conceptual and Computational Model of Moral Decision Making in Human and Artificial Agents (2010, positive): “Global workspace theory (GWT) (Baars 1988) was originally conceived as a neuropsychological model of consciousness, but has come to be widely recognized as a high-level theory of human cognitive processing, which is well supported by empirical studies (Baars 2002).”
Neurophenomenology: An Introduction for Neurophilosophers (2005, positive): “According to one important theory, mental contents are access conscious when they are ‘globally available’ in the brain as contents of a ‘global neuronal workspace’ (Dehaene and Naccache 2001; Baars 2002).”
The Case Against Cognitive Phenomenology (2011, positive): “There is widespread evidence that this is so (Baars, 2002; Dehaene and Naccache, 2001; Dehaene et al., 2003).”
Global workspace theory of consciousness: toward a cognitive neuroscience of human experience. (2005, positive): “A sizeable body of evidence suggests that consciousness is the primary agent of such a global access function in humans and other mammals (Baars, 1988, 1997, 2002).”
An evaluation of current perspectives on consciousness and pain in fishes (2004, positive): “The role of cortical and noncortical brain structures in the generation of conscious states in humans has been the subject of intense debate and study (Kanwisher 2001; Baars 2002 ).”
The Role of Consciousness in Memory (2005, positive): “Consciousness: Conscious cognition is implemented computationally by way of a broadcast of contents from a global workspace, which receives input from the senses and from memory (Baars 2002).”
