Consciousness and Cognition: An International Journal provides a forum for a natural-science approach to the issues of consciousness, voluntary control, and self. The journal features empirical research (in the form of regular articles and short reports) and theoretical articles. Book reviews, integrative theoretical and critical literature reviews, and tutorial reviews are also published. The journal aims to be both scientifically rigorous and open to novel contributions.

Topics of interest include but are not limited to:


• Implicit memory
• Selective and directed attention
• Priming, subliminal or otherwise
• Neuroelectric correlates of awareness and decision-making
• Assessment of awareness; protocol analysis
• The properties of automaticity in perception and action
• Relations between awareness and attention
• Models of the thalamocortical complex
• Blindsight
• The neuropathology of consciousness and voluntary control
• Pathology of self and self-awareness
• The development of the self-concept in children

PSYCHE-D: Areas of discussion appropriate for Psyche-D, where the focus is on theory related issues, include the following:

A) How do we define consciousness? In the broader sense, what natural phenomena are we trying to understand? What needs to be explained, and why?

B) What theoretical approaches are being offered in the study of consciousness, and how do they contribute to our understanding withreference to our definition of the problem?

C) Just how big is this problem, and why?

Feel free to draw from research, but focus on what it means for theory, not on issues of research methodology.

PSYCHE-B: Areas of discussion appropriate for Psyche-B, where the focus is on research issues from an empirical point-of-view, include the following:

A) What directions in research are suggested by theory? What questions are ripe for research?

B) What can we put our hands on? How can the neural (or other) correlates of consciousness be operationally defined and tested?

C) What research has been done, and what does it contribute to our understanding with reference to our definition of the problem?

Feel free to draw from theory, but focus on what it means for research, not on issues of theoretical differences.
