For a long time, elucidating human consciousness has been a task restricted to philosophers.  In recent years, however, investigators of the "hard sciences " started approaches to better explain and understand this state of mind.

Within this research network, we aim  for solving the riddle of consciousness from a psychological perspective. In six research institutes, projects are conducted using experimental methods of cognitive psychology and neuroscience to identify general computational principles that govern conscious and unconscious visual perception.
