The 1st International Krakow Conference in Cognitive Science: Consciousness and 

Volition will focus on the current state of consciousness research, with particular 

reference to connections with issues pertaining to volitional acts. Principal topics will 

include: mental acts of volition, perception, memory, qualia, emotions, as well as the 

neurophysiological and physical foundations of all of these. We will also set out to 

analyse the possibility of artificial modelling of such mental acts, and correlations 

between them and experimentally discoverable events. The program of the 

conference, which is envisaged as having an interdisciplinary flavour, will not, 

however, be limited to just these themes and presentations. It is hoped that it will 

include a wide-range of related topics and innovative approaches, even where 

these involve research with an explicitly interdisciplinary orientation. One of the most 

important challenges that this conference aims to address is that of bridging the 

explanatory gap between first-person experience, psychological research and the 

various ways in which the brain itself may be studied. 

 

The conference organisers therefore cordially invite prospective participants to 

submit original proposals for consideration with a view to selection, in philosophy, 

psychology, neuroscience, artificial intelligence, cognitive science and other related 

fields. 

 

On behalf of the Organizers and Programme Committee
