Dear members of the Deutsche Desellschaft für Kognitionswissenschaft, we would like to invite you to join the Association for the Scientific Study of Consciousness. Founded in 1994, the ASSC is the only scholarly, scientific membership organization specifically devoted to the study of consciousness and its related issues. Members are drawn from the disciplines of psychology, philosophy, and neuroscience, but the society welcomes all scholars with a serious academic interest in the study of consciousness. The ASSC organises annual scientific meetings in North America and Europe. Our next North American meeting will take place at the California Institute of Technology, from the 24th to the 27th of June 2005. In June 2006, our European meeting will be held at St. Anne's College, Oxford. As with all ASSC conferences, contributed papers are welcome on all topics relevant to the rigorous study of consciousness. In addition to our annual meeting, the ASSC publishes two journals, "Consciousness & Cognition" and PSYCHE , runs email discussion lists on the topic of consciousness, and holds an international competition for the best paper by a new researcher in the field of consciousness studies. Membership is just $30 per annum ($50 for two years) and entitles people to a number of benefits, including: **A substantial discount on our annual meeting. **25% discount on all Oxford University Press book publications. **25% discount on all MIT Press book publications. **25% discount on Christof Koch's new book "The Quest for Consciousness". **A discount on the journal "Consciousness and Cognition".
