Description of the project:

The project sets to explore the neural underpinnings of consciousness through large scale muliticenter studies that focus on collecting MRI data alongsied wide spectrum of behavioural outcomes to build predictive models for normal and pathological cognitive functioning. The colleboration is organized in seven groups: WG1 Neuroarchitectural mapping, WG2 Statistical methods, WG3 – Conscious perception, WG4 Metacognition, WG5 Consciousness, learning, and memory, WG6 – Clinical measures of consciousness, and WG7 – Large-scale data collection – coorinating large sacle data collection sites in Aarhus (Denmark), Krakow (Poland), Brno (Czech Republic), Chiba (Japan) and Cardiff (UK).
