She is the principal investigator of the project What do theories of consciousness predict about consciousness in animals, infants, and machines?<\/em><\/a>funded by Templeton World Charity Foundation. She has spoken at the Association for the Scientific Study of Consciousness, The Science of Consciousness, The Association for Mathematical Consciousness Science, Mindfest, and many other events.\u00a0She recently delivered a TED Talk on the topic of infant consciousness.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The Development of Consciousness in Infants<\/strong> When does consciousness begin? There is still no consensus on when consciousness first emerges in the life of a human being.  Our best method for detecting consciousness involves first-person verbal reports of conscious states. When first-person reports are absent, as in infants and fetuses, our methods for studying consciousness are limited. In this talk, I will explain the challenge of detecting consciousness in infants. I will shed light on recent neuroscientific discoveries suggesting an early onset of consciousness during infancy. Additionally, I will explore the spectrum of experiences infants might undergo, and unravel the developmental journey of infant consciousness, progressing from perceptual awareness of the environment to complex self-awareness, mind-wandering, and beyond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
