...…in neurophysiological terms were introduced by Baars and associates in a ‘neural global workspace’ (Newman and Baars 1993), primarily in relation to attention in schemas of neural network models (Newman et al. 1997), and similar to those which Taylor and Alavi (1993) had applied earlier....

...…engineering problems such as object recognition and robot motion control, the concept of combining modular networks using gating connections has been actively exploited to develop highly reliable systems (Jacobs et al., 1991; Hampshire and Waibel, 1992; Jacobs and Jordan, 1993; Cho and Kim, 1995)....

...Certainly its serious consideration is a fairly recent development (Jackendorf, 1987; Baars, 1988; JohnsonLaird, 1988; Edelman, 1989; Crick and Koch, 1990a), although a brief enthusiasm for the subject surfaced, and submerged, three decades ago (Eccles, 1966; Penfield, 1975)....

...Indeed, the general term we have used to describe it elsewhere is the ’extended reticular–thalamic activation system’, or ’ERTAS’ (Baars, 1988; Newman and Baars, 1993; Newman, 1995a, 1995b, 1997)....

...The ’intralaminar complex’ (Newman and Baars, 1993) is also integral to the ERTAS system, as the non-specific portion of the thalamocortical circuit....

...The stream of consciousness arises out of the operations of the GW system — and, over time, our sense of being a coherent ‘I’ (the memory and intention systems vital to this aspect are beyond the scope of this paper; see Baars et al., in press; Newman, 1997)....

...Newman (1997) goes on to cite evidence (Parent and Hazrati, 1995) that the BG ‘extension’ (like the thalamocortical loops) sends rich, collateral projections to nRt that effect not only its ‘gating’ of motor programs, but hippocampal-mediated episodic memory functions (see also Newman, 1995b)....

...More recent research on the basal ganglia (see reviews by Groenewegen and Berendse, 1994; Parent and Hazrati, 1995) have suggested that they constitute a ‘motor programming extension’ of the frontal lobes as well — routed through the thalamus (p. 112–113)....
