Toward a computational theory of conscious processing (2013, positive): “Global Neuronal Workspace (GNW) theory [2,86,87] proposes that conscious access stems from a cognitive architecture with an evolved function: the flexible sharing of information throughout the cortex [4].”
The conscious access hypothesis: origins and recent evidence. (2002, neutral): “• Dehaene and Naccache, 2001 'We propose a theoretical framework … the hypothesis of a global neuronal workspace.”
Can fish suffer?: perspectives on sentience, pain, fear and stress (2004, background): “The mechanisms by which pallial, sub-pallial and other brain regions generate consciousness, for any vertebrate animal, is the subject of intense debate and a number of working hypotheses (Searle, 2000; Dehaene and Naccache, 2001; Dennett, 2001).”
Behavioral Priming: It's All in the Mind, but Whose Mind? (2012, background): “For instance, several authors [9,10,11] suggest that two factors are necessary to produce the large patterns of neural activation in higher association cortices that are essential for semantic priming to occur: Top-down attention to the prime and bottom-up stimulus strength (e.”
Towards the utilization of EEG as a brain imaging tool (2012, background): “…large-scale networks that have been repeatedly proposed in the global workspace model of consciousness (Baars, 2002a; Dehaene and Changeux, 2004; Dehaene and Naccache, 2001), and the duration of the " perceptual frame " needed for conscious perception in backward masking studies (Efron, 1970;…”
Multisensory Integration in Complete Unawareness (2014, background): “…interpretation is supported by the view that consciousness is needed for establishing novel strategies and adapting to new stimuli sets and tasks (Dehaene & Naccache, 2001) and that multisensory integration is highly adaptive to contextual factors (van Atteveldt, Murray, Thut, & Schroeder, 2014).”
Graph theoretical analysis of complex networks in the brain (2007, neutral): “(vi) is there a relationship between the 'giant cluster' which emerges at the onset of synchronization and consciousness? The relationship between a single cluster of synchronized neurons and brain areas and consciousness has been suggested by several authors [124,125].”
Morphometric Similarity Networks Detect Microscale Cortical Organisation And Predict Inter-Individual Cognitive Variation (2017, positive): “In the language of graph theory, this is compatible with the prediction that topologically integrative features of the connectome – which “break modularity” (Dehaene and Naccache, 2001) - should be important for intelligent cognitive function; and there is already some evidence in support of this pr”
Simple models of human brain functional networks (2012, background): “Thus, the topological attribute of high ef ﬁ - ciency seems empirically to be important for cognitive functions of human brain networks, as also anticipated hypothetically by global workspace theory (33, 34).”
A small world of weak ties provides optimal global integration of self-similar modules in functional brain networks (2011, background): “For instance, the workspace model (1, 33) proposes that a flexible routing system with dynamic and comparably weaker connections transiently connects modules with very strong connections carved by long-term learning mechanisms.”
The Role of Consciousness in Memory (2005, background): ““We postulate that this global availability of information through the workspace is what we subjectively experience as the conscious state.” Dehaene & Naccache 2001”
Neurophenomenology Integrating Subjective Experience and Brain Dynamics in the Neuroscience of Consciousness (2003, background): “…consciousness rely on the transient and ongoing orchestration of scattered mosaics of functionally specialized brains regions, rather than any single neural process or structure (Tononi and Edelman, 1998; Freeman, 1999; Dehaene and Naccache, 2001; Engel and Singer, 2001; Thompson and Varela, 2001).”
Network attributes for segregation and integration in the human brain. (2013, background): “Rich club connectivity offers a potential network substrate for a ‘global neuronal workspace’, a key component of recent theories of higher cognition and consciousness [66,67].”
