It's all up and looks like some good stuff - see it all at the Consciousness Online site. In the coming days I'll be blogging about some of these - two in particular look very much like my kind of thinking, Joseph Neisser, Grinnell College, Correlates, Causes, and the Neurobiology of Consciousness and Adam Pautz, University of Texas, Austin, Why Consciousness Can’t Just be in the Head: A New Argument against Biological Theories.

Here is the 2010 program:
