About​
A fundamental challenge and open question in cognitive neuroscience is understanding how the brain and mind give rise to consciousness experience. While much of consciousness experience is tied to awareness of the external world around us, consciousness also extends to the awareness of internal states, such as our memories, emotions, thoughts, and actions, that create a sense of self with agency. In this conference, we bring together different perspectives from diverse fields ranging from philosophy, cognitive science, neuroscience, AI, and psychiatry to understand the nature of self and agency holistically.​
