Exploring the function and value of conscious experience
EXPERIENCE is an ambitious, five-year project dedicated to addressing a fundamental question in the broad domain of consciousness science: Why would we do anything at all if the doing was not doing something to us?
We will address the “why” question of consciousness by pursuing a rich interdisciplinary program rooted in integrative philosophy of mind and cognitive neuroscience, applying novel methods to the interactions between affect and consciousness in perception and action.
