Andrew Bailey - The Department of Philosophy

Not the zombies you were thinking of…

Taking an interdisciplinary approach, Professor Bailey is asking the big questions about the nature of consciousness. In conjunction with neuroscientists, experimental psychologists, and linguists, among others Andrew Bailey is pursuing a testable, empirical, scientific theory of how consciousness arises,  how it is related to the brain, and what one might discover in the zombie paradigm if consciousness could be subtracted from the brain.
