Conscious Brain Lab

While you are reading these words, the electrochemical activity of billions of nerve cells is generating a conscious experience of these words: right now. But how do all those inter-connected cells in your brain do that? And related, what happens for example when a person loses consciousness, for example when falling asleep or when placed under anesthetic? Answering these questions is the ultimate intellectual challenge for members of the Conscious Brain Lab.​

We are hosted at the University of Amsterdam, department of Psychology. On this page you can find information about lab members, ongoing projects, publications and more.
