The global workspace theory (GWT), proposed by Bernard Baars in 1988, claims that consciousness results from extensive and highly integrated cortico-thalamic activity. According to the hypothesis, conscious cognitive content is globally available in the brain for a variety of cognitive functions such as attention, memory, and verbal reporting. The global neuronal workspace theory, the neuronal implementation of GWT, suggests that various inputs reaching higher-level cortical regions and their feedback onto lower-level sensory representations facilitate a confluence towards a single coherent r
