Characterizing Consciousness: From Cognition to the Clinic?

  • Fifteen of the foremost scientists in this field presented testable theoretical models of consciousness and discussed how our understanding of the role that consciousness plays in our cognitive processes is being refined with some surprising results.
  • At last being able to look into the human mind at work is both very exciting and somewhat daunting.
  • As well as providing a window into the current state of this field, the meeting was likely to stimulate a lively debate about some of the issues and implications raised by this work.
  • Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
