Questions include how the brain produces consciousness, whether consci=usness is intrinsic to the universe, or an epiphenomenal illusion, how EFTA_R1_01414407 EFTA02389723 con=ciousness can causally affect brain processes, what are the best empirical-theories, do we have free will, how did life and consciousness originate a=d evolve, what are the origins of moral and aesthetic values, how can we i=prove mental, physical and cognitive function, and can consciousness persi=t after bodily death, e.g. through 'uploading' to machines, or via mental =rocesses tied to the natural world? These and other relevant questions are=approached through many disciplines in science, philosophy, culture and co=templative practices. 'TSC' began at the University of Arizona in Tucson in 1994, an= returns there in even-numbered years, alternating with TSC conferences ar=und the globe (Italy, Denmark, Japan, Hungary, Hong Kong, Sweden, India, C=ech Republic, Finland). The 2017 conference was scheduled in Shanghai, Chi=a, June 5-10, but due to unforeseen circumstances is moving to San Diego, =pecifically The Hyatt Regency La Jolla at Aventine, near the UCSD campus.<=p> The TSC 20=7 conference will consist of Plenary Sessions, Pre-Plenary Workshops, Even=ng Concurrent Talk and Poster sessions, Technology and Art Exhibits, Socia= Events, Entertainment and Satellite Excursions. The Plenary program is nearly compl=te (see below), and Concurrent sessions are also nearly filled. Abstract s=bmission for talks and posters will now reopen until April 20.
