ASSC17 – The 17th annual meeting of the Association for the Scientific Study of Consciousness – will take place in San Diego, USA, from July 12-15, 2013. ASSC 17 is intended to promote interdisciplinary dialogue in the scientific study of consciousness. ASSC members as well as non-members are encouraged to submit contributions that address current empirical and theoretical issues in the study of consciousness, from the perspectives of neuroscience, psychology, medicine, philosophy, computer science, and cognitive ethology. ASSC17 will provide an excellent opportunity for the presentation of new empirical findings or novel theoretical perspectives in an atmosphere that will promote discussion and debate. Attendees will include researchers, clinicians, and students at all levels, as well as the interested media and public.

ASSC17 will be hosted by the Neurosciences Research Foundation and will convene at the Sheraton San Diego Hotel and Marina, right on beautiful San Diego Harbor. The venue is located directly across from San Diego International Airport and is only a 5-minute cab ride from the bustling nightlife and trendy restaurants of downtown San Diego.
General submission for abstracts for ASSC17 is now open; the final deadline is March 22nd, 2013.

The program committee invites submissions for Talk and Poster presentations on any topic relevant to the scientific study of consciousness. Any person may present only one submission, but may be co-author on more than one.
