Pro-cognitive drug effects modulate functional brain network organization by Carsten eGiessing, Christiane M Thiel

“…Finally we discuss the global workspace theory as a theoretical framework of pro-cognitive drug effects and argue that pro-cognitive effects of cholinergic and noradrenergic drugs might be related to higher network integration.…”

Self-organized criticality as a framework for consciousness: A review study by Nike Walter, Thilo Hinterberger

“…Notably, different analytical tools were applied in the EEG/MEG studies to assess a surrogate measure of criticality such as the detrended fluctuation analysis, the pair correlation function, parameters from the neuronal avalanche analysis and the spectral exponent.ConclusionRecent studies pointed out agreements of critical dynamics with the current most influencing theories in the field of consciousness research, the global workspace theory and the integrated information theory. …”

Predictive Neuronal Adaptation as a Basis for Consciousness by Artur Luczak, Yoshimasa Kubo

“…Interestingly, our predictive adaptation hypothesis is consistent with multiple ideas presented previously in diverse theories of consciousness, such as global workspace theory, integrated information, attention schema theory, and predictive processing framework. …”
