This 2011-2012 academic year, we will be doing a series of Geballe Workshops sponsored by the Stanford Humanities Center, entitled Interdisciplinary Approaches to Consciousness. These workshops will focus on three topics: pain experience, the problem of color, and the promise and peril of enhanced consciousness and sensory implants.



About Us

The CEC is a research initiative at CSLI which is devoted to studying materialistic explanations of consciousness. The CEC hosts talks and symposia from a variety of viewpoints exploring the nature of conscious experience. We also sponsor reading groups during the term, led by faculty and graduate students.
