We kindly invite You to participate in the 15th Scientific Meeting of the Consciousness Lab.

The 2025 meeting will provide a unique opportunity for scientists in consciousness and perception research to share their findings and ideas within an interdisciplinary setting. Throughout the event, we will explore key theories of consciousness, discuss methodological advancements and statistical approaches in the context of ongoing research, and exchange insights from philosophical, psychological, and neuroscientific perspectives. The meeting aims to foster in-depth scientific discussions, promote collaboration, and offer valuable feedback from experts in the field. We warmly invite all Consciousness Lab members, affiliates, collaborators, and researchers interested in these topics to participate.
