Highlights of the First ICCS Conference

July 29, 2024

The International Center for Consciousness Studies arranged its first conference "Uncovering the Magic of Consciousness: Philosophy, Neuroscience, AI" at the Santa Maria della Scala Museum, Sala “Italo Calvino”, in Siena, Italy, from June 27 to 29 2024.


The principal objective of the First ICCS Conference was to investigate whether it is really possible to unveil the magic of consciousness within a scientific framework or, instead, whether it is such an evanescent phenomenon that it requires an account which goes beyond cognitive science. Designed as a three-day symposium, the conference was structured to accommodate a variety of formats, encouraging participants to present their contributions in the manner most suited to their expertise. This included talks on pertinent topics, open discussions, manuscript or published paper reviews and poster presentations.


In the short video above, you can see some of the highlights of the conference. You can also find the impressions of the conference from some of its participants in our previous post. For more details about the topics discussed at the conference, see the Program.
