SECOND CALL FOR TUTORIAL PROPOSALS
TUTORIAL PROPOSALS MUST BE RECEIVED BY 31st January 2004
------------------------------------------------------------------------

One of the aims of ASSC is to allow researchers to gain a background in
areas that they may know little about. Towards hat end a number of
tutorials are planned. Some participants in the conference would be very
interested in learning about technical matters such as fMRI or other
important brain imaging techniques.  Others might enjoy a seminar on a
philosophical topic, or a tutorial on relevant matters in cognitive
psychology or linguistics. Tutorial presenters are expected not to
present just only their own material, but to give a broader tutorial
overview and encourage discussion and debate. A non-exclusive list of
possible topics might include:
 
     - Brain imaging techniques (e.g. fMRI, EEG, MEG, ERP)
     - Blindsight, neglect, or other neuropsychological syndromes
     - Computational & other theoretical models of conscious processes
     - Conscious and unconscious processing
     - Neural basis of attention and consciousness
     - Current models of the visual system
     - Consciousness and metacognition
     - Criteria for the ascription of consciousness
     - Philosophical issues concerning consciousness and representation
     - Phenomenological methods for investigating consciousness
 
Tutorials will be held in parallel sessions on the morning and afternoon
of June 25th 2004.  Each tutorial is intended to last approximately
three hours. The sizes of tutorials will vary between a minimum of 10 to
a maximum of around 25 attendees. Tutorial presenters will receive an
honorarium of 500 Euros and their registration fee for the conference
will be waived.
The cost of attending tutorials will be 50 Euros. Tutorials that do not
Achieve the minimum enrollment of 10 people will not be offered.
