Why do we experience consciousness during awake periods but not deep sleep? During wakefulness, why do we experience a particular conscious experience, such as vision, audition, and so on? When I experience a blue ball, do I experience it in the same way as the other people? What about animals? Plants? Or artificial intelligence?
These fascinating fundamental questions used to be targets of philosophical speculation. Now, they are beginning to be empirically investigated by scientists. At Monash Neuroscience of Consciousness, we address these questions using a multitude of interdisciplinary methods, aiming to eventually uncover the link between consciousness and its physical substrate.
