Global Neuronal Workspace Theory (GNWT) (Stanislas Dehaene, 2000s) – the perspective that Consciousness arises when, after successfully competing for attention, information is broadcast across a widespread network of interconnected neurons. When information enters this “workspace,” it becomes globally accessible for reasoning, memory, and decision-making, distinguishing conscious from unconscious processing.
