Journal of cognitive neuroscience May 30, 2024 Biyu J He 2 citations
The field of consciousness science has grown exponentially over the past five years, following three decades of foundational work by a small group of researchers. In June 2023, a three-day workshop funded by the U.S. National Institutes of Health and the National Science Foundation convened experts to assess the current state of the field and identify promising future research directions. The resulting Special Focus includes empirical and theoretical contributions from invited speakers. The author advocates for stronger connections between consciousness science and other cognitive neuroscience subdisciplines, arguing that modern neuroscience must address the challenge of studying subjective experiences.
