Details

ASSC 17 is intended to promote interdisciplinary dialogue in the scientific study of consciousness. ASSC members as well as non-members are encouraged to submit contributions that address current empirical and theoretical issues in the study of consciousness, from the perspectives of neuroscience, psychology, medicine, philosophy, computer science, and cognitive ethology. ASSC17 will provide an excellent opportunity for the presentation of new empirical findings or novel theoretical perspectives in an atmosphere that will promote discussion and debate. Attendees will include researchers, clinicians, and students at all levels, as well as the interested media and public.

ASSC17 will be hosted by the Neurosciences Research Foundation and will convene at the Sheraton San Diego Hotel and Marina, right on beautiful San Diego Harbor.
