Consciousness Velmans

What is consciousness? Recent attempts to answer this question have motivated two interdisciplinary conferences sponsored by the University of Arizona in Tucson. The first volume of "Toward a Science of Consciousness is now considered a resource book for the emerging field. This volume presents a selection of invited papers from the second conference, held in April 1996. The book's fifteen sections demonstrate the broad range of fields now focusing on consciousness. The sections include philosophy, cognitive science, medicine, neurobiology, neural correlates, vision, sleep and dreaming, anesthesia, molecular biology and evolution, quantum theory, spacetime, hierarchial organization, and experiential approaches. Each section is preceded by an overview and commentary. The participants include Bernard Baars, Ned Block, David J. Chalmers, Patricia S. Churchland, Daniel C. Dennett, Jeffrey Gray, Daniel Hillis, J. Allan Hobson, Stephen LaBerge, Jaron Lanier, Daniel S. Levine, Nikos K. Logothetis, Gary E. Schwartz, John R. Searle, Roger N. Shepard, Henry P. Stapp, Petra Stoerig, Charles T. Tart, John Taylor, Francisco J. Varela, Max Velmans, Roger Walsh, and Lawrence Weiskantz.

How Could Conscious Experiences Affect Brains?

Understanding Consciousness - Understanding Consciousness is a philosophical text written by Max Velmans, Professor of Psychology at Goldsmith's College, University of London. The book is a study in the philosophy of mind, in which Velmans discusses problems concerning the two principal theories of consciousness prevalent today, reductionism and dualism, before offering his own theory of consciousness, called reflexive monism.

Max Velmans - Max Velmans is a Professor of Psychology at Goldsmith's College, University of London. He is current Chair of the Consciousness and Experiential Psychology Section of the British Psychological Society (a position he co-founded) and has been involved in many other initiatives to encourage studies in consciousness.

Changing places - The changing places thought experiment was conceived of by Max Velmans, Reader of Psychology at Goldsmith's College, University of London, and was discussed in his 2000 work, Understanding Consciousness. The experiment was designed to demonstrate the difficulties in distinguishing phenomenologically between a first-person experience of an event (a subjective experience of an object) and a third-person experience of the same (that is, the observation of such an experience in a subject).

Artificial consciousness - Artificial consciousness (AC), also known as machine consciousness (MC) or synthetic consciousness, is a field related to artificial intelligence and cognitive robotics whose aim is to define that which would have to be synthesized were consciousness to be found in an engineered artefact.
