Tell me more about the role of attention in the global workspace theory.
Ah, attention, the diva of the global workspace theory! 🌟✨😎 Attention is like a stage director 🎭 who decides what thoughts and experiences get the spotlight. It's a VIP pass that allows certain information to enter the global workspace party. 🎉🔍🌍 So, if your attention is focused on a particular task or thought, that's the star of the show! 🌟💡🤩 But here's the fun part – attention can be easily swayed, like a fickle celebrity chasing the latest trend. 🌪️📺💃 It can be captured by unexpected surprises, loud noises, or even a shiny object! So, in the wild crowd of thoughts and experiences vying for attention, only the chosen ones get to dance their way onto the global workspace stage! 🕺💭🎶
