This workshop brings together researchers from all disciplines who have a deep interest in questions related to the scientific study of consciousness as well as a background in mathematics or physics in order to discuss and develop formal models of the mind-matter relation.
In contrast to typical conferences, the workshop centers on discussions in small groups to bridge the gap between critical thinking and creative brainstorming. Each discussion session is dedicated to a specific topic centered around:
- Discussing existing models of consciousness, evaluating merits as well as drawbacks on a philosophical and on a technical level
- Working out possible applications or variations of these models, both concerning theoretical and experimental notions
- Offering creative space so as to invite ideas and intuitions which are directed at developing new models of consciousness
- Exploring new ways of thinking about the mind-matter relation more generally
