About
The meeting uses altered states across evolutionarily distant species to investigate the biological basis of consciousness. Sleep, anaesthesia, hibernation and dissociative states are examined from molecular and circuit mechanisms through animal and human behaviour.
Discussions connect experimental neuroscience with disorders of consciousness, recovery after general anaesthesia and the therapeutic potential of anaesthetic- and psychedelic-induced states. The format emphasizes unpublished findings, extended discussion, posters and interactions between trainees and established researchers. Attendance applications are reviewed and capacity may fill before the application deadline.
