The=Science of Consciousness

Jun= 5-10, 2017, La Jolla, California

"To=have a glimpse of what consciousness is would be the scientific achievement=before which all others would pale."

Wil=iam James

'The S=ience of Consciousness' ('TSC') is an interdisciplinary conference on a=l aspects of the nature of conscious experience, awareness, feelings a=d existence. How does the brain produce consciousness? Is&nb=p;consciousness intrinsic to the universe, or an epiphenomenal illusion? How can =onsciousness causally affect brain processes? What are the best empiri=al theories? Do we have free will? How did life and consciousness=originate and evolve? What are the origins of moral and aesthetic values? How can we improve mental, physical and cognitive functio=? Can consciousness persist after bodily death, e.g. through 'uploadin=' to machines, or via mental processes tied to the natural world?

Inform=l, intensive and interdisciplinary in a fun environment, the 24th annual&nb=p;TSC conference will consist of Plenary Sessions, Pre-Plenary Workshops, E=ening Concurrent Talk and Poster sessions, Technology and Art Exhibits, Social Events and Entertainment. &nb=p;
