The
Taormina Science of Consciousness (TSC) 2023 is the 28th international
interdisciplinary conference on fundamental questions and cutting-edge
issues connected with consciousness. TSC is the largest and
longest-running interdisciplinary conference emphasizing conceptual,
empirical, cultural and even artistic approaches to the study of
consciousness. Held annually since 1994, the TSC conferences alternate
between Tucson, Arizona, and various locations around the world.
TSC
conferences continue to bring together various perspectives,
orientations, and methodologies within the study of consciousness. These
include not only academic subjects within the sciences and humanities,
but also contemplative and experiential traditions, culture and the
arts. TSC aims to integrate viewpoints and bridge gaps, appreciates
constructive controversy, and pursues the spirit of genuine dialogue.
The format of the conference includes plenary sessions, in-depth
workshops, concurrent presentations, poster sessions, and social events.
TSC
2023 will include themes such as neural underpinnings of consciousness,
embodied cognition, integrated information approaches, free-energy
principle, disjunctivism, hallucinations, dreams, intentionality,
first-person experience, anesthetics, psychedelics, animal cognition,
quantum biology, phantom limbs, dual-aspect monism, mind-object
identity, bistable perception, religious studies, evolution, language,
embodiment, time consciousness, neuroscience, phenomenology, and more.
TSC 2023 will offer a complete overview of the state of the art of
consciousness science and studies.
