Legacy workshop description and program
The old page framed ALIUS as an interdisciplinary research group investigating non-ordinary and understudied conscious states, connecting anthropology, neuroscience, psychology, philosophy of mind, and psychiatry. The workshop asked which methodological approaches allow fruitful dialogue between disciplines in the investigation of consciousness.
