uman beings' capacity for comprehension and empathy. 3.4.4.2 Attentions' Focus Finally, we turn to the notion of an "attentional focus" similar to Baars' [13aa97j notion of a Global Workspace, which will be reviewed in more detail in Chapter 4: a collection of mental entities that are, at a given mo
