This conference aims at unifying the research of mind-wandering and spontaneous thought in contemporary philosophy by contemplating not only how we can make better sense of this phenomenon but, also, how investigations on mind-wandering can shed light on other related topics. As such, the conference will focus on three general subtopics: (1) the nature of consciousness, (2) mind wandering and other imaginative experiences, and (3) mind-wandering in psychopathology.

The ‘Extremes of Mind Wandering’ conference, hosted by the School of Philosophy, Psychology and Language Sciences in the University of Edinburgh will take place on June 24-25th 2021 (online) and will consist of two keynote talks by Prof. Amy Kind (Claremont McKenna College) and Dr Zachary Irving (University of Virginia) as well as contributions from postgraduate researchers selected via a blind review of abstracts
