Abstract:
Toward a Science of Consciousness marks the first major gathering - a landmark event - devoted entirely to unlocking the mysteries of consciousness. It explores the whole spectrum of approaches, from philosophy of mind and dream research to neuropsychology, pharmacology, and molecular dynamics, neural networks, phenomenological accounts, and even the physics of reality. The aim is to lay a sound scientific foundation for future research while also reaching consensus on many scattered areas of inquiry.
