Transcultural Perspective on Consciousness: a bridge between Anthropology, Medicine and Physics

Towards a Science of Consciousness, 8-13 June 2015, Helsinki
http://www.helsinki.fi/tsc2015/

The last 5-10 years have witnessed huge steps and the vast mobilization of multidisciplinary competences “toward a Science of Consciousness”, as clearly illustrated in the recent international conference on that topic held in Stockholm under the patronage of the Center for Consciousness Studies of the University of Arizona and of the Perfjell Foundation, with the collaboration of the postdocs of the Karolinska Institute. At the same time that Science, and especially Medical Anthropology, Neuroscience and the Physics of Consciousness progresses, tools and new understanding have been developed that will allow for the transfer of much of that basic Science into clinical practice. This transfer doesn’t only concern the clinical practice exclusively with mental disease but also the regular clinical practice where a person or a patient, using his, or her mind, can influence the progression of disease, becoming what one could rightly call a therapeutic partner. This is an old issue in different cultures that uses different “states of consciousness” to foster the healing process. The need to establish connections between Medicine, especially in the therapeutic aspect (healing), and all the information already obtained from the mind-matter phenomenology has led to much experimentation and theorizing in this border and transcultural area. During the symposium an interdisciplinary and international group formed by anthropologist who have studied altered states of consciousness in different cultures, medical doctors who uses states of consciousness to treat patients with the support of quantum physics and molecular biologists will try to define a transcultural perspective on consciousness merging anthropology, medicine and physics.
