Consciousness Is Computational: the Lida Model of Global Workspace Theory
We argue that the functions of consciousness are implemented in a bio-computational manner. That is to say, the conscious as well as the non-conscious aspects of human thinking, planning, and perception are produced by adaptive, biological algorithms. We propose that machine consciousness may be produced by similar adaptive algorithms running on the machine Global Workspace Theory is currently ...
متن کاملThe Global Workspace (GW) Theory of Consciousness and Epilepsy
The global workspace (GW) theory proposes that conscious processing results from coherent neuronal activity between widely distributed brain regions, with fronto-parietal associative cortices as key elements. In this model, transition between conscious and non conscious states are predicted to be caused by abrupt non-linear massive changes of the level of coherence within this distributed neura...
متن کاملVersion 3.1 Consciousness: A Simple Information Theory Global Workspace Model
The asymptotic limit theorems of information theory permit a concise formulation of Bernard Baars’ global workspace/global broadcast picture of consciousness, focusing on how networks of unconscious cognitive modules are driven by the classic ‘no free lunch’ argument into shifting, tunable, alliances having variable thresholds for signal detection. The model directly accounts for the punctuated...
متن کاملExploring the “Global Workspace” of Consciousness
As an explanatory principle in biology, vitalism has long been in decline, as one discovery after another revealed that mechanisms provide convincing explanations—hearts are pumps, genes are code—for all manner of life’s phenomena. But even through the 20th century, the mind has been vitalism’s last redoubt, because there has been no simple, satisfactory, mechanistic explanation of the most puz...
