Biomedicine and Molecular Biosciences COST Action BM0605
CATIA - Consciousness : A Transdisciplinary, Integrated Approach

 

Chair of the Action : Professor Axel CLEEREMANS - link to personal website

Rapporteur : Professor Srecko GAJOVIC

Science Officer : Kalliopi KOSTELIDOU

Administrative Officer : Ms. Gabriela CRISTEA

The target audience of the Action is essentially the transdisciplinary scientific community from the many disciplines for which conscious experience and its neurobiological bases are central research topics (neuroscience, psychology, philosophy, psychiatry etc.), with a specific focus on junior scientists. Because the proposed Action also has societal relevance, it is also targeted towards the educational and mental health care communities.

WORKING GROUPS

WG1: Fundamental issues of consciousness
chair: J.-M. Roy & T. Bayne; acting chairs: R. Chrisley & T. Froese
This WG is focused on the philosophical, theoretical, and epistemological issues that need to be addressed to advance our understanding of the mechanisms that subtend consciousness

WG2: Tools and technologies for the study of consciousness
chair: A.K. Engel & J.-D. Haynes
This WG is focused on the integration of novel methodologies for the study of consciousness, particularly on the integration of existing brain imaging methods such as fMRI, MEG and EEG.

WG3: Experimental paradigms for the study of consciousness
chair: R. Balas
This WG is dedicated to exploring the most promising behavioural paradigms to contrast information processing with and without consciousness, both in humans and in animal models.

WG4: Clinical, societal, and ethical implications
chair: S. Laureys & K. Vogeley
This WG is dedicated to the study of altered states of consciousness, to consciousness in pathological cases (such as vegetative state) and in special populations (e.g., blind subjects or synaesthetes), to the design of new assessment scales, and to a consideration of the ethical and societal implications of the findings.
