What if consciousness science were organized more like a commons than a competition? Shared data. Shared methods. Shared questions. Shared discovery. That’s the idea behind Consciousness Commons. #OpenScience #ConsciousnessScience #ASSC2026
Consciousness Commons

Building Collaborative Science with Open Consciousness Data https://consciousness-commons.github.io/cc-assc-2026/
Consciousness research advances faster when ideas, data, and methods are shared openly. We also need collaborative workflows, preregistration, and interdisciplinary teams.
Consciousness research advances faster when ideas, data, and methods are shared openly. Consciousness Commons brings early-career researchers together to build collaborative, reproducible projects using open consciousness datasets. Science as a commons.
Open datasets are changing consciousness science. But data alone isn’t enough — we also need collaborative workflows, preregistration, and interdisciplinary teams. Consciousness Commons is designed around exactly that idea.
Imagine walking into a room where neuroscientists, philosophers, coders, and cognitive scientists all work on the same consciousness dataset together. That’s the spirit of Consciousness Commons. Collaborative science > siloed science. ASSC 2026 satellite event • Santiago 🇨🇱
