June 30th 2012 at the Brighton Corn Exchange
State of Mind is a one-day public Expo interactively showcasing the latest developments
in the new science of consciousness. Taking place just before the academic meeting of the
association for the scientific study of consciousness (ASSC16), the Expo will form a key part
of a citywide celebration of consciousness science, all compered by Sussex University’s
Sackler Centre for Consciousness Science.
The Expo, hosted in central Brighton at the magnificent Corn Exchange complex, will feature
an interactive showcase of new technologies that exploit and explore many aspects of
consciousness, perception, and human experience. Exhibits will have a strong interactive
component allowing you to be immersed in, and to learn about, different aspects of your
own conscious experience and their biological basis. There will also be plentiful
opportunities to talk with the scientists, technologists, and artists investigating
consciousness from their many differing perspectives.
State of Mind will have a strong focus on the core theme of consciousness science, with
exhibits covering topics such as: introspection, mind-bending visual illusions, striking
scientific images of the brain, sensory substitution devices, impossible objects, myths,
morphs and memes, virtual-reality environments, bio-feedback, eye-tracking, and much,
much more.
Come and join in with a citywide celebration of consciousness science.
Everyone is welcome as long as they keep an open mind.

Consciousness Salon – Exploring Hypnosis
Peter Naish
July 4th 2012 at the Latest Music Bar
It was not long ago that science was skeptical about hypnosis - it simply wasn't "real". However,
recent research suggests that hypnosis actually produces changes in the brain; there is a reality that
begins to explain why it has therapeutic value (and potential dangers). Hypnosis has always been
fascinating to the general public; now the scientists are fascinated too, because it seems to help with
unravelling that most fascinating topic of all - the nature of consciousness.
Peter Naish will set recent intriguing findings in context, and consider why some people are more
hypnotisable than others. Are they in some sense "more conscious" - or are they more vulnerable?
Peter Naish has long had an interest in hypnosis, and in a varied career, including research in
academia, for the Home Office and for the Ministry of Defence, he has taken every opportunity
either to research or to use hypnosis. He has discussed the subject on numerous TV and radio
programmes, at home and abroad, given lectures on it at science festivals and serves as an expert
witness in court cases involving hypnosis. He is currently Chair of Council of the British Society of
Clinical and Academic Hypnosis, and is the President of the Section for Hypnosis and Psychosomatic
Medicine, at the Royal Society of Medicine, of which he is a Fellow.

Satellite Symposium
Neuropsychiatry and Consciousness: Bringing
Consciousness Science to the Clinic
Saturday 7th July 2012
Organizers:
Dr Nick Medford (Brighton and Sussex Medical School), Ms Hazelle Woodhurst
Venue: Michael Chowen Lecture Theatre, (BSMS) Brighton & Sussex Medical School - Teaching
Building (No 46 on map at bottom of page).
Registration: £30 for the full day - Note there is a capacity limit of 140 people.
NOTE: Registration for this event is separate to general ASSC 16 registration.
Summary: Psychiatric disorders entail disturbances of first-person experience, such as altered mood
or anomalous perceptions. To what extent can they be considered consciousness disorders? And
what can theoretical approaches to consciousness gain from considering the mental and biological
disturbances that are seen in clinical neurology? The disturbances that arise in neuropsychiatric
disorders can provide clues to the underlying structure of conscious awareness itself. In this satellite
symposium, a range of medical neuroscientists will address these issues, covering such topics as
disturbances of volition, anomalies of self-representation, and the interaction of body and brain.
Recommended for clinicians interested in consciousness science, and for consciousness scientists
wishing to learn more about the functions and dysfunctions of consciousness.

By Car
Should you prefer to come by car, the closest car park to the Medical school is car park 3 in Biology Road, which is parallel to the BSMS Teaching Building. The medical school has long white steps at the front leading up to its entrance and will be signposted outside for the satellite symposium.
By Taxi
Taxis are available at both Brighton and Lewes train stations and at many places in the centre of Brighton. It is about four miles (six kilometres) from central Brighton to the University. (There is no taxi service at Falmer station itself.)
