MBCC - IIT Mandi

This special session will explore the identification of biological markers that provide insights into the neural and cognitive processes underlying consciousness. By integrating multidisciplinary approaches, we aim to understand how perception and cognition function across various life forms, including humans, animals, and plants. The session will cover neural mechanisms driving consciousness, the role of electrophysiology in tracking cognitive states, and how organisms communicate their perception of the environment and the significance of bioacoustic signals, electrophysiological responses, and cellular communication in shaping cognitive processes. This session will highlight evolutionary similarities and distinctions in cognition, offering a broader perspective on how consciousness manifests biologically. This session aims to foster discussions that bridge neuroscience, bioengineering, and cognitive biology, advancing our understanding of consciousness through diverse biological perspectives.
