As an initiatory demonstration of the power of Dialogue for Science, the Center is applying a Dialogical process to the Science of Consciousness, engaging physics, neuroscience, psychology, and philosophy in a rigorous conversation. Outputs from this project include Papers (below), Videos, and Books. The ongoing Process includes Working Groups and Workshops. To get involved or to support this work, please get in touch.

Titles in Bold are the pivotal contributions in the definition of a new and rigorous, truly-scientific, approach to consciousness.
