We are still working on the development of a comprehensive abstracting and indexing service. Meanwhile the organizers of the Tucson conferences Toward a Scientific Basis for Consciousness have asked us to publish the abstracts for the 1994 and 1996 conferences. As the classification and keywording system for such a broad multi-disciplinary field will require some prototyping, this presents an excellent opportunity to trial the system. We feel strongly that a comprehensive abstracting service is essential to establish the emerging new discipline of consciousness studies, so we would encourage you to support this trial and give us your comments and feedback before setting up a full service under the JCS banner.
The abstracts for the second Tucson conference are now available in printed form (192 page book) or online.
Published together in one volume, 128 pages, 250 x 175 mm. (pbk.) ISBN 0 907845 15 0, December 1995. Price US$15 (UKP 9.00).
Edited by Bojan Borstner and John Shawe-Taylor, these are the proceedings of the conference held in August 1994 as part of the European Community TEMPUS project. Speakers ranged from veteran philosopher Ullin Place, to physicist Basil Hiley, best known for his collaboration with David Bohm. These edited selected proceedings include original contributions and review papers covering neuropsychology, physics, philosophy and cognitive science.
