What is Consciousness and What is it Good For?
Inès Mentec, Léa Moncoucy, Yanis Mouheb and Axel Cleeremans
Frontiers for Young Minds, Sept. 2024

We introduce the concept of conscious experience and overview the methods that scientists use to study them. Not an easy task! Finally, we present the benefits of studying consciousness.

Pourquoi sommes-nous conscient.e.s ?
I co-wrote this episode of 100g, the short series of Migram de Savoirs. They vulgarize psychological science in different formats. It is called "Why are we conscious?". You can listen to it with this link, but it's in french!
