The scientific study of consciousness is still quite young. However, even though it begins to reach maturity, the different paradigms that emerged thirty years ago barely ever discuss and exchange.
That is why, from Saturday, 4th to Sunday, 12th September 2021, the Mediterranean Seminar for Consciousness (MESEC) will take place in Campomoro, Corsica, France.
16 early-career researchers (invited after application) from diverse approaches will be welcomed in a genuine setting for daily life. We want to welcome tenants of the prominent paradigms of the field, such as Global Neuronal Workspace, Integrated Information Theory, High Order Thoughts or Predictive Processing-based theory, but are more than excited to bring together people from more exotic scientific approaches (Quantum Theory of Consciousness, Attention Schema Theory or Emotions based Theory, just to name a few examples).
The aim of this seminar is to share ideas and discover other perspectives in a friendly environment. Beyond several sessions of short presentations, the format will emphasize discussions around questions related to consciousness: for example, how the different approaches explain neuropsychological pathologies? What do the approaches have in common and what differentiates them? The participants choose these topics before the Seminar.
After short lightning talks by the invited YRs, renowed Human Brain Project speakers will present new scientific results shedding light to various aspects on Consciousness. This is followed by the introduction and overview of the EBRAINS Research Infrastructure, contributing to these results. Participants get the chance to apply and test some of the EBRAINS tools and services. The HBP Education Media team will accompany the seminar to produce popularized videos from the shared knowledge.
