Toward a Science of Consciousness

Toward a Science of Consciousness (TSC) is an international academic conference that has been held since 1994. It is organized by the Center for Consciousness Studies of the University of Arizona. Alternate conferences are held in Arizona (either Tucson or Phoenix), and the others in locations worldwide. Each conference attracts hundreds of attendees.

The conference is devoted exclusively to the investigation of consciousness. Plenary or keynote speakers have included Daniel Dennett, David Chalmers and Roger Penrose.

Three books published by MIT Press have resulted from the conference.

John Benjamins has published a book containing selected proceedings from TSC 1999.

(None of the following peer-reviewed journals are involved with the organization of TSC.)

An essay review Toward a science of consciousness:Tucson I and II by J. Gray was printed in ISR Interdisciplinary Science Reviews Volume 24 Issue 4 (1 April 1999), pp. 255–260.
