Sign up online for the conference Meetings of the Alhambra: The Cognitive Neuroscience of Consciousness (25-26th April)

The significance of consciousness in daily life and society is undeniable, despite much of human behavior occurring outside of conscious awareness. This topic, long debated in philosophy, has recently become central in cognitive neuroscience. The advancements in new theoretical models, neuroimaging and electrophysiology have propelled the field forward. However, many core issues remain unresolved. This meeting will explore recent discoveries about the neural mechanisms of consciousness and their broader implications.

The philosophy of science in consciousness research will also be adressed, questioning fragmented definitions and challenging the ‘Theory of everything’ assumption. The integration of evidence is another key topic, as diverse methodologies risk producing concurrent but unintegrated results. Writing review papers or using computational models alone won’t solve this; we need to explore what is required for genuine integration of experimental evidence.

To achieve these goals, international experts and the local research community will gather in Granada. Leading scholars like Dr. Anil Seth, Dr. Axel Cleeremans, and Dr. Clare Press, among many others, will present their latest research and lead discussions on cutting-edge topics.

This meeting (25-26th April) is expected to influence the ongoing research, so save the date and don’t forget joining online in: Registration
