Exploring 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...

متن کاملExploring Global Consciousness
The Global Consciousness Project (GCP) is a long-term experiment which investigates the proposition that direct correlations of mind and matter may occur on a global scale. The Project is motivated by numerous experiments which suggest that the behavior of random systems can be altered by directed mental intention. Since 1998, the GCP has maintained a global network of random number generators ...
متن کاملConsciousness 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...
