==== Global workspace theory ====
[[Global workspace theory]] (GWT) is a [[cognitive architecture]] and theory of consciousness proposed by the cognitive psychologist [[Bernard Baars]] in 1988. Baars explains the theory with the metaphor of a theater, with conscious processes represented by an illuminated stage. This theater integrates inputs from a variety of unconscious and otherwise autonomous networks in the brain and then broadcasts them to unconscious networks (represented in the metaphor by a broad, unlit "audience"). The theory has since been expanded upon by other scientists including cognitive neuroscientist [[Stanislas Dehaene]] and [[Lionel Naccache]].<ref name="baars-2005">{{cite book |last1=Baars |first1=Bernard J. |title=The Boundaries of Consciousness: Neurobiology and Neuropathology |year=2005 |isbn=9780444518514 |series=Progress in Brain Research |volume=150 |pages=45–53 |chapter=Global workspace theory of consciousness: Toward a cognitive neuroscience of human experience |citeseerx=10.1.1.456.2829 |doi=10.1016/S0079-6123(05)50004-9 |pmid=16186014}}</ref><ref name="dehaene-naccache">{{cite journal|last1=Dehaene|first1=Stanislas|last2=Naccache|first2=Lionel|title=Towards a cognitive neuroscience of consciousness: basic evidence and a workspace framework|journal=Cognition|date=2001|volume=79|issue=1–2|pages=1–37|url=http://zoo.cs.yale.edu/classes/cs671/12f/12f-papers/dehaene-consciousness.pdf|access-date=5 April 2019|doi=10.1016/S0010-0277(00)00123-2|pmid=11164022|s2cid=1762431|archive-date=13 July 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190713125127/http://zoo.cs.yale.edu/classes/cs671/12f/12f-papers/dehaene-consciousness.pdf|url-status=live}}</ref>
