Specifically, it claims that perceptual consciousness depends on implicit mastery of sensorimotor contingencies, the pattern-like ways that sense inputs change in line with movement by the agent or object perceived.<\/p>\n Since its first official statement in a seminal paper by O\u2019Regan and No\u00eb (2001), the theory has been extended and developed in various ways, resulting in a rich set of empirical and philosophical ideas about conscious experience. This workshop will give an overview of the state of the art and discuss key issues that a future sensorimotor theory should tackle.<\/p>\n Everybody is welcome. Participation is free but places are strictly limited. To register, please email Niclette Bukasa Kampata on lpp.erc.vision@gmail.com<\/a> with your name and any affiliation.<\/p>\n The two-day workshop will feature a combination of philosophers and scientists working on the sensorimotor theory and closely related topics.<\/p>\n Keynote speakers:<\/p>\n Invited speakers:<\/p>\n And a closing talk by:<\/p>\n These will be accompanied by a number of contributed talks and posters.
