A Duke University professor says the time is ripe for new research on consciousness, and he needs your help.
More than 800 teams pitched their best “big ideas” to a competition sponsored by the National Science Foundation (@NSF) to help set the nation’s long-term research agenda. Only 33 are still in the running for the grand prize, and a project on the science of consciousness led by Duke artificial intelligence expert Vincent Conitzer is among them!
You can help shape the NSF’s research questions of the future by watching Conitzer’s video pitch and submitting your comments on the importance and potential impact of the ideas at https://nsf2026imgallery.skild.com/entries/theory-of-conscious-experience.
But act fast. The public comment period ends Wednesday, June 26. Winners will be announced and prizes awarded by October 2019. Stay tuned.
Watch all the video pitches until June 26 at nsf2026imgallery.skild.com.
