Bernard J. Baars (born 1946, Amsterdam, Netherlands) is a cognitive neuroscientist and former senior fellow in theoretical neurobiology at the Neurosciences Institute in San Diego, California. He is currently an affiliated fellow at the institute.[citation needed]
He is best known as the originator of the global workspace theory, a concept of human cognitive architecture and consciousness.[1][2] He previously served as a professor of psychology at Stony Brook University, where he conducted research into the causation of human errors and the Freudian slip,[3] and as a faculty member at the Wright Institute.[4]
Baars co-founded the Association for the Scientific Study of Consciousness[5] and the Academic Press journal Consciousness and Cognition, which he also edited, with William P. Banks, for "more than fifteen years".[6]
In addition to research on global workspace theory with Stan Franklin and others,[7] Baars has done work to reintroduce the topic of the conscious brain into the standard college and graduate school curriculum, by writing college textbooks and general-audience books, web teaching, advanced seminars, and course videos.[8][dead link]
