David Chalmers and Bernard Baars are both prominent figures in the field of consciousness studies, linked by their shared research interests [1] and the fact that Chalmers explicitly engages with Baars' theories regarding the 'easy' and 'hard' problems of consciousness [2]. Furthermore, Chalmers views Baars' work as compatible with his own research program [3], and Baars contributed a commentary to the symposium on Chalmers' seminal paper [4].
