Cognitive Effort Drives Workspace Configuration of Human Brain Functional Networks (2011, background): “According to global workspace theory (Baars, 1988, 2002; Dehaene and Naccache, 2001; Shanahan, 2010), conscious mental states depend on integrated activity of many elements of the nervous system.”
Talking about Large Language Models (2022, background): “7 ferring questions about how words are used, whether they are words generated by the LLMs themselves or words generated by humans that are about LLMs. 7 For a discussion of the “language game of truth”, see Shanahan (2010), pp.36–39.”
The entropic brain: a theory of conscious states informed by neuroimaging research with psychedelic drugs (2014, background): “05. that this instability is maximal at a point where the global sys-tem is critically poised in a transition zone between order and chaos (Tononi et al., 1994; Shanahan, 2010; Deco and Jirsa, 2012; Tagliazucchi et al., 2012).”
Coordination Among Neural Modules Through a Shared Global Workspace (2021, methodology): “Inspired by the Global Workspace Theory (Baars, 1993; Dehaene et al., 1998; Shanahan and Baars, 2005; Shanahan, 2006; 2010; 2012; Dehaene et al., 2017) from cognitive neuroscience, we argue that more ﬂexibility and generalization emerge through an architecture of specialists if their training…”
