Manifesting the Mind conference

DATES: April 28-29, 2011
LOCATION: BioPharmaceutical Technology Center, Madison, WI
COORDINATORS: BioPharmaceutical Technology Center Institute and Promega Corporation
OVERVIEW: Manifesting the Mind is designed to explore the Mind-Brain phenomenon and how this relates to human consciousness.
A characteristic of humans is the desire to reach beyond ourselves to ponder the question of purpose and the higher meaning of our existence. The ability to question -- and perhaps the source of this questioning -- lies within the brain, but defining consciousness is no easy task.
In this spirit, this year’s Bioethics Forum covers a wide range of topics:

• ethnobotany and indigenous cultures
• the savant syndrome
• sleep, dream and wakefulness states
• near death experiences
• neurotransmitters
• quantum perspectives
• recent clinical studies of the therapeutic effects of entheogens
• mindfulness and meditation

Manifesting the Mind brings together world leaders in these fields. They will assist us in exploring these diverse topics in order to enhance our understanding of human potential and our conceptualization of the next step in the evolution of consciousness on this planet.

The conference will feature an impressive panel of presenters. Among them we'll find:
Wade Davis, Kathleen Harrison, Jeremy Narby, Franz X. Vollenweider, David E. Nichols, Roland Griffiths...
