@watson: Sorry for the lack of GNW posts here on Neurdon. I have been focusing on the brain-computer interface section (Brain Plug), but I am planning to post an article on Murray Shanahan’s newest paper soon.

Any followup on this post? I can’t seem to find it in your blog history anywhere. I’d love to hear more about these GNW models you briefly mention.

Well, SMART is obviously the first choice! As for others, I would suggest reading Scholarpedia's entry on models of consciousness" which has a nice References section. The "hottest" model of cortical-based consciousness would have to be Dehaene's interpretation of global workspace theory, but I think the most promising model thus far is Shanahan's computational model of consciousness. I recommend reading this paper of his for a starting point. I plan on writing more about that article here on Neurdon eventually.

Any good readings you can advise? What is the hottest model of cortex … beyond SMART, of course…
