Which minds are conscious?
The nature and origins of consciousness remains one of the most
profound open questions in contemporary science. A deeper
understanding of subjective experience may ultimately require
a broader comparative perspective.
Understanding consciousness requires exploring many kinds of minds
The AnyMinds Project is an interdisciplinary initiative aimed at understanding the fundamental nature of consciousness through the comparative study of subjective experience in different kinds of minds.
