Could consciousness be such a field? Should science embrace consciousness research? Research from Northwestern University suggests that consciousness lies well within the realm of scientific inquiry — as impossible as that may currently seem. Two professors from Northwestern argue in a new paper for the benefits that consciousness research could bring for society.
