Overview

Consciousness is the state of being aware of oneself and one's surroundings, encompassing the subjective experience of thoughts, feelings, sensations, and perceptions. In psychology, it refers to the moment-to-moment awareness that allows a person to perceive the environment, reflect on internal states, and direct attention and action. Researchers distinguish between different aspects of consciousness, such as wakefulness and alertness, the contents of awareness, and self-awareness, and they study how consciousness relates to attention, perception, memory, and decision-making. The nature of consciousness, including how subjective experience arises and how it can be measured, remains one of the central and most debated questions across psychology, neuroscience, and philosophy of mind. This page sits within a journal focused on Human Psychology, a field that investigates the mind and behavior, including awareness, perception, and the processes that shape conscious experience. Research in this area explores how consciousness functions, how it interacts with cognition and emotion, and how it can be understood scientifically. This page gathers peer-reviewed, open-access research relevant to consciousness and the study of the mind.
