Nick, what do you think as a Psychologist
of Baars's "Global Workspace Theory" where
he explores the "consciousness is a theater"
metaphor? Is this a modern perspective
suitable for a computational model to bridge
the gap betwen Psychology and Neuroscience?
Do you think there is a layer or mesh between
both disciplines?
Since 2003 there have been attempts from
Baars and Franklin to produce somehow
a common denominator. Franklin apparently
wanted to program conscious agents, and
Baars wanted to confirm his theory
experimentally, but I have the impression
that it never worked out well. Do you
agree?
