Conscious experiences \;occupy a \;central position in our mental lives. Imagine how \; our \;lives \;would be impoverished if we cannot see colors\, smell \;odors\, \;experience emotions\, etc. Analogously\, \;third-person phenomenal \;mindreading\, \;i.e.\, the \;ability to attribute conscious \;experiences to other individuals\, \;plays a \;fundamental \;role in understanding others. Indeed\, the ability to \;recognize \;whether someone is feeling pain\, or is experiencing disgust is \;arguably as \;important as the ability to attribute \;beliefs \;and desires. \;Importantly\, human \;beings are also \;able to \;attribute conscious \;experiences to \;themselves. For \;example\, when an adult human being experiences sadness\, she is \;also typically \;able to determine that she is having such \;an \;experience. In a \;nutshell\, human \;beings also perform \;first-person phenomenal mindreading. The aim \;of this \;conference is to investigate first-person and \;third-person \;phenomenal \;mindreading from an interdisciplinary point of \;view \;that \;combines philosophy\, \;psychology and neuroscience. \;In doing so\, we intend to address \;some of the most \;puzzling and open questions and problems in this area. \;
