	Consciousness - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Consciousness is a quality of the mind generally regarded to comprise qualities such as subjectivity, self-awareness, sentience, sapience, and the ability to perceive the relationship between oneself and one's environment.
		Moreover, the study of brain states of non-linguistic primates, in particular the macaques, has been used extensively by scientists and philosophers in their quest for the neural correlates of the contents of consciousness.
		Modern investigations into and discoveries about consciousness are based on psychological statistical studies and case studies of consciousness states and the deficits caused by lesions, stroke, injury, or surgery that disrupt the normal functioning of human senses and cognition.

	THE ELEMENTS OF CONSCIOUSNESS
		In summary, although consciousness cannot be reduced to physical phenomena by the standard reductive methods of the sciences, it can be investigated to yield publicly validatible facts about the structure of consciousness, which can be related, in turn, to the observations of neuroscience.
		I have said that conscious states are the totality of protophenomenal intensities, so phenomena, as aspects of the phenomenal world, are cohesive and coherent patterns of protophenomenal intensity.
		Further, since the consciousness of the right hemisphere is largely disjoint from that of the right, the right forms a kind of unconscious mind for the left.

		One is a proposal for a specific consciousness mechanism (as the current winner of Darwinian copying competitions in association cortex) and the other is an argument about what's a correct level at which to seek a consciousness mechanism.
		If the consciousness physicists were serious about their proposal, they would examine alternative ways of achieving synchrony in the brain -- which are legion -- and explain why their synchronizing explanation was preferable to simpler explanations that are a dozen levels of organization closer to higher intellectual function.

		I am especially interested in consciousness, but am also interested in philosophical issues about meaning and possibility, in the foundations of cognitive science and of physics, and a bunch of other things.
		From 1999-2004 I was in the Department of Philosophy and the Center for Consciousness Studies at the University of Arizona.
		Consciousness is my first love, and it's what I always come back to, but one of the nice things about being a philosopher is that one is allowed to be interested in all sorts of things.

	Review of Journal of Consciousness Studies
		The journal's center of gravity is outside the mainstream, with the editors admitting a preference for "radical" conceptualizations of the subject.
		All in all, the journal is surprisingly accessible to the general reader, and despite its biases it provides a useful look at the state of play in consciousness research circa 1994.
		But it is pleasant that we are promised discussions in the humanities as well as in science, with papers on cultural aspects of consciousness and on the philosophy of mind slated for future issues.

		Recent machine consciousness workshops in Memphis (2002), Birmingham (2003), Turin (2003) and Antwerp (2004) have made it clear that this is a swiftly emerging field of international presence.
		If this is correct, then central goals for machine consciousness research are a) establishing clear criteria for when a robotic system possesses such mastery and b) building robots which meet these criteria in a way which allows said mastery to play a crucial role in their deliberations.

	Consciousness Rules
		Attaining “higher consciousness”; does not mean abandoning lower needs, but being free to think and act from whatever level of consciousness one chooses as necessary or desired.
		Consciousness, altered consciousness, and higher consciousness rather than obedience, duty, and sacrifice became the prime concern of the new spirituality.
		The suppression of the natural human fascination with altered states of consciousness and the present perilous situation of all life on earth are intimately and causally connected.

	Quantum Consciousness is Cybernetic
		Since consciousness, too, in some difficult to define sense is holistic in character, the hope has arisen that consciousness can finally be explained in quantum terms.

		This is an academic journal with an on-line version which examines the scientific study of consciousness.
		While not immediately related to MAPS, the subscribers are beginning to re-evaluate the whole focus of the journal and debating over the question of why more transpersonal and parapsychological research is not being presented and/or discussed, along with various religious issues that come up when talking about any "altered states" of consciousness.
		I thought that many of you might like to see how the issues of "normal states" of consciousness are being discussed and researched, and how it is beginning to be realized that a narrow perspective being guided by political and legal boundaries is not only inadequate, but also un-scientific in its truest sense.

	CogThs
		Consciousness is, perhaps, the aspect of our mental lives that is the most perplexing, for both psychologists and philosophers.
		State/event consciousness : A state of a subject, or an event occurring within the subject, is a conscious as opposed to an unconscious or subconscious state or event iff the subject is aware of being in the state / hosting the event.
		Psychologists and (especially) philosophers have tended to think of “consciousness” in the same mental breath as “phenomenal experience.” But notice that phenomenal experience is necessarily involved only in the last six of the foregoing issues, and has nothing intrinsically to do with any of the others.

	Consciousness, Causality, Quantum Physics
		He argues that consciousness is rooted deep in the implicate order, and is therefore present to some degree in all material forms.
		Some researchers see a connection between consciousness and the quantum vacuum: for example, Charles Laughlin (1996) argues that the neural structures that mediate consciousness may interact nonlocally with the vacuum (or quantum sea), while Edgar Mitchell (1996) believes that both matter and consciousness arise out of the energy potential of the vacuum.
		This objection also applies to antireductionists who shun the word "dualist" and describe matter and consciousness as complementary or dyadic aspects of reality, yet deny consciousness any energetic or substantial nature, thereby implying that it is fundamentally different from matter and in fact a mere abstraction.

	Journal of Consciousness Studies Rejection Letter: Ronald Pearson
		The content was that an attempt to find a theory of quantum gravity led to the need to explore the existence of a background medium consisting of a mixture of particles made of negative as well as positive energy.
		It was then inferred that the mind or consciousness could be immortal, existing as an part of this structure.
		It was almost a copy of the presentation in Russia in 1993 entitled, Quantum gravitation and the structured ether and subsequently re-named, Consciousness as a Sub-quantum phenomenon and published in 1997 in "Frontier Perspectives".

		My main research interest is in the area of consciousness studies, with a particular focus on integrating work in philosophy, cognitive psychology, neuropsychology, and mind/body relationships in clinical practice.
		From 1990 onwards, I have over 70 publications in this area, mostly addressing the trickier theoretical problems of consciousness in ways that try to bridge science, philosophy and "common-sense" (around 25 of these papers and chapters are available on-line in the CogPrints archive).
		Many of the issues addressed are foundational for psychological science, for example, the relation of brain studies to individual experience, the nature of subjectivity, intersubjectivity and objectivity, how to avoid the mysteries of dualism and the implausibilities of reductionism, how to develop methodologies appropriate to the study of experience, and so on.
