" 'Thoughts' and 'things' are names for two sorts of object, which common sense will always find contrasted and will always practically oppose to each other."
- William James (1904)
Does ‘Consciousness’ Exist

| Anthony I. Jack, PhD - Principle Investigator | ||
I have a PhD in Experimental Psychology and extensive training in Philosophy and Neuroscience. I started out doing largely theoretical work on consciousness, but then got interested by the emerging field of brain imaging. I use fMRI to study attention, consciousness and social processing in the brain. Personal Home Page: |

Started January 2008 I am a recent graduate from CWRU, and will be working in the lab through this summer 2008. I graduated with a degree in biology and a minor in philosophy, focusing mainly on neuroscience. In August I will start at the Ohio State College of Medicine. |

| Viyan Udawatta - Student researcher | ||
Started January 2008: Viyan has SOURCE funding to work over summer 2008 on the project “Perceptions of Mindedness and Moral Status: A Cross-Cultural Study.” I am a rising senior pursing a BA in Cognitive Science and Chemistry. I’m also on the pre-med track. In my free time, I volunteer at the Free Clinic, watch anime, and read. My interest in cognitive science and the brain in general stems from a lifelong curiosity in how people behave and why they do so in that way. This summer, I will be applying to medical schools and researching with Dr. Jack. My current project with Dr. Jack is a cross cultural study of morality and mindedness. |
