In this case we would expect a difference for German speaking philosophers, don't we? :)

This is an interesting thought. Just to be sure I understood you correctly: you assume that philosophers - at least in English speaking countries - do not consider themselves scientists, therefore they do not feel included in "consciousness science"?

That's interesting. I did not know that. Did these groups also have ideas on how to change that? :)

Indeed a good question. To be fair, I think it is just what I heard the most. But I also like that it stresses that it is its own discipline that can include very different viewpoints on the same subject (e.g. not only neuroscience, psychology etc. but also philosophy and more). :)

I would refer to it as consciousness science :)

Thank you so much for the opportunity to present my work! It was big fun presenting and the others' work was super interesting. :)

I would like to be added if this is still possible :)

Oh may I be added? :) I am taking in a rather practical point of view on consciousness research but the detection of neural "signs" consciousness (in forms of mental states) are the most important part of my work :)

I would like to be added :) even though I am coming from a more "applied" point of view, my research is heavily influenced by basic research in neuroscience, and I like to raise its importance in my field :)

If possible I would like to be added too:) thanks for taking care of that!

Although this is only an initial investigation, the neural correlates found may prove to be useful predictors of BCI use in healthy subjects in the future - an area of research that has been largely neglected for P300-based BCIs.

The increase in brain criticality prior to improved BCI performance is well in line with what would be expected based on theory and supports our hypothesis of its potential relevance for BCI use that we made earlier this year: www.researchgate.net/publication/...

Tbh this is a current one. More generally: where and how does "mind" emerge and how to detect that :) and many more 😁🙈

What/does something happen(s) to consciousness in neural disorders and how to detect that?
