BS 177 Bernard Baars with David Edelman

<p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernard_Baars" target= "_blank" rel="noopener">Bernard Baars</a> is a pioneer in the neuroscience of consciousness. He first proposed Global Workspace Theory back in 1980, which was before consciousness was considered an acceptable topic of scientific research. His approach inspired others including the current Global Neuronal Workspace Theory, which I discussed briefly in <a href= "http://brainsciencepodcast.com/bsp/2019/160-consciousness" target= "_blank" rel="noopener">episode 160</a>. This episode is an interview with Dr. Baars that focuses on his most recent book <em><a title="Amazon lin" href="https://amzn.to/2FN0VlX" target= "_blank" rel="noopener">On Consciousness</a></em>. He is joined by his colleague <a href= "https://www.linkedin.com/in/david-edelman-b5b16315/" target= "_blank" rel="noopener">David Edelman</a>.</p> <p><strong>Links and References:</strong></p> <ul> <li><a href="https://amzn.to/2FN0VlX" target="_blank" rel= "noopener"><em>ON CONSCIOUSNESS: Science & Subjectivity - Updated Works on Global Workspace Theory</em></a> by Bernard J.
