One of the most important problems in philosophy\, the \;mind-body (or \;mind-brain) problem is still up in the air. Paradoxically\, since Descartes nobody has proposed a viable alternative solution to this problem. The general topic of this issue is the \;mind-body problem\, with a focus on relatively recent debates from the field of cognitive neuroscience related to this problem. Thus\, more specific topics could be the \;mind-brain identity\, the binding problem\, the brain imaging related to localization and the self.

Questions of interest: Is a particular mental state identical with some specific neural patterns of activation? During the evolution of species\, the brain evolved in a strong relationship with the body. Could we eliminate the body from the equation &ldquo\;the \;mind \;= the brain&rdquo\;? Are we able to talk about the unity of consciousness in the terms of neuroscience or consciousness and the self are just pseudo-notions? What are the relationships between notions from psychology and neuroscience?

Manuscripts should be submitted in English or French\, and prepared for anonymous peer review. Abstracts in French and English (200-300 words) should be included.
