The Cognitive Neurosciences IV
Michael S. Gazzaniga, Stanislas Dehaene, Jean‐Pierre Changeux · 2014
The global workspace account of consciousness was first suggested by Bernard Baars (1988) and has been developed in a more neural direction by Stanislas Dehaene, Jean-Pierre Changeux, and their colleagues (Dehaene, Changeux, Nacchache, Sackur, & Sergent, 2006). The account presupposes a neural network approach in which there is competition among neural coalitions involving both frontal and sensory areas (Koch, 2004), the winning coalitions being conscious.
