The Center for Consciousness Studies at the University of Arizona hosts this event every year. Here is the official website: LINK In the past I've enjoyed reading about the research, ideas and arguments of several of the scienitsists who will be speaking there. Unfortunately I won't be attending due to distance, although it is open to the public so if any of you live in Arizona you may want to look into it.

I can't wait until they have one in Europe -- or until they get invovled in less analytical approaches... or until they give up

Ooooh this looks great! Thanks for sharing this deviate and thanks for adding the discussion topics list to the post Blue. I definitely want to read some of the transcripts. Does anyone know when they will be published and where if not at that site? I looked for info on that and couldn't find it.
