<p><b>"One of the most important and influential theories of consciousness. A MUST READ</b> for anyone interested in the scientific treatment of consciousness." <em>David Rosenthal, CUNY</em><br></p><p>"The works of Bernard Baars collected here are among the foundational texts of the scientific study of consciousness. <b>Their influence in cognitive science and philosophy of mind is enormous, and their impact on my own thinking has been profound."</b> <em>Murray Shanahan, DeepMind</em><br></p><p><br></p><p><b>Bernard Baars' Global Workspace Theory (GWT) is a theory of human cognitive architecture, the cortex, and consciousness.</b> GWT is a widely used framework for the role of conscious and unconscious events in the functioning of the brain. Global Workspace Dynamics (GWD) is the most current version of GWT - attempting to account for complexities of the living brain.</p><p>These updated works, <b>from the recipient of INNS 2019 Hermann von Helmholtz <em>Life Contribution</em> Award for paradigm changing, long lasting influence and impact in perception:</b> <b></b><br></p><ul><li>form a coherent effort to organize a large and growing body of scientific evidence about conscious brains, <br></li><li>and trace the beginnings of GWT/GWD through the continued rise of brain evidence and psychological understanding. <b></b><br></li></ul><p><p><b>Throughout human history, people have perceived the conscious brain as the great nexus of human life,</b> of social relationships, of their personal identities and histories, in encounters with new challenges.
