Welcome

Introduction to Consciousness and the Physical World

Consciousness and the Physical World is dedicated to the development of collaborative resources for teaching and learning about consciousness.

The first course that we have developed is based on the work of the PEAR lab (external link)

(cache). We have put this course material together, and we are making it freely available, in order to provide a concise introduction to the research of the PEAR lab and foundational research of the emerging Science of the Subjective.

The course is organized for students unfamiliar with these topics but it also contains much detailed material and links to current research so that an advanced student will also find much of value. Like a university course, it assumes a certain level of background education. In this case, some understanding of the scientific method and statistical analysis will be assumed.

The PEAR webcourse contains the following units:

Further course materials on consciousness are currently in development, and other online resources are being compiled. Consciousness and the Physical World is a participatory project; if you'd like to help by developing materials or donating, please Contact Us.
