Advanced Seminar Readings
Readings for Saturday, 2 pm, October 4. Bernard Baars will be presenting DISCUSSION PAPER A Global Workspace Interpretation of the MTL-NC system. Baars - DISCUSSION PAPER - Advanced Seminar Oct 4 2008.pdf
(MTL is the medial temporal lobe, which includes the hippocampus. NC is the neocortex, which is the great bulk of human cortex.)
The Baars draft Discussion Paper should not be cited or quoted; it is still very much in a process of revision.
For background on the MTL system (the hippocampus and related structure), here is a chapter from Baars & Gage (2007) textbook, Cognition, Brain & Consciousness: An Introduction to Cognitive Neuroscience. Baars&Gage_2007_cbc_CH009.pdf
This chapter is copyrighted by Elsevier, Inc. (Academic Press), and should only be used for this seminar. (But you're welcome to buy the book! (:)) ). Chinese and Korean language editions are in the works... . You can find it on the Elsevier textbook website, and on Amazon.com.

Brain Rhythms Reading 1. A great example of "contrastive analysis," comparing conscious vs. unconscious visual perception. The conscious condition showed much more widespread rhythmic brain synchrony than the unconscious condition. This is an important expansion previous work led by one of the co-authors, Wolf Singer.
