Dr Julian Kiverstein

I am a Post-Doctoral Fellow at Edinburgh University, funded as part of the collaborative research project, Consciousness in Interaction (CONTACT). CONTACT is part of the EUROCORES Consciousness in a Natural and Cultural Context scheme.

I am also project leader on one of four funded projects which form a part of the Volkswagen Stiftung-sponsored European Platform for the Life Sciences, Mind Sciences and Humanities. Our project will investigate the neural basis of temporally extended consciousness. The first workshop will take place in Edinburgh in March 2008.

My research interests are in Phenomenology and Philosophy of Mind. I am particularly interested in what naturalistic philosophy of mind can learn about intentionality, consciousness and the self from the Phenomenological tradition.

I am currently working on a number of papers, on subjects including phenomenal intentionality, motor intentionality, social cognition, two visual systems, and temporal experience.
