*The '''Conscious Turing Machine''' (CTM)<ref name=Blum2020>Blum, M.; Blum, L. (2020), A Theoretical Computer Science Perspective on Consciousness. https://arxiv.org/abs/2011.09850</ref> is a computational model that formalizes the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_workspace_theory Global Workspace Theory] (GWT). GWT postulates the existence of a type of working memory in the brain to which various subsystems may gain access and influence the contents of. The hypothesis relating the model to consciousness is that it is the content of this working memory that we are conscious of. The CTM formalization helps to remove ambiguity and allows GWT to be straightforwardly modelled on a digital computer. CTM can be seen as an idealization that aims to synthetically model the essentials of GWT.
===Higher -level models===There are a number of models in MCS that propose a higher -level viewpoint of conscious systems than archetypal models. By higher-level models or viewpoint we are not referring to Higher-Order Theories of consciousness (HOT) which has a rather different meaning.
Examples include:
