consciousness studies

a multidisciplinary field that combines approaches from cognitive science, neurophysiology, and philosophy of mind to investigate the nature of consciousness. Major concerns include the relationship of the mind to the body (see mind–body problem), the hard problem of subjective experience, the significance of altered states of consciousness, and the possibility of consciousness in computers or other manmade systems (see machine consciousness).
