This will include some historical aspects including early conferences and interactions with certain prominent scientists. Then I’ll stick my neck out and make a linkage between consciousness and coordination. Rather than being a novel state of highly integrated information or matter, conscious agency will be seen to emerge as a disorder-order transition of a coordination dynamics defined in an appropriate space of relevant variables. </span></div><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0in; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 14pt; "><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; "> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0in; margin-bottom: 5pt; margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 14pt; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; "><b><span style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; ">Scott Kelso</span></b><span style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; "><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>holds the Glenwood and Martha Creech Eminent Scholar Chair in Science at<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a name="OLE_LINK2"></a><a name="OLE_LINK1"></a>Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton where he is also Professor of Psychology and Neuroscience, Biological Sciences and Biomedical Sciences. He is the (Visiting) Professor of Computational Neuroscience at University of Ulster's Intelligent Systems Research Centre in Derry, N. Ireland where he guides a young team of researchers. From 1978 to 1985 Kelso was Senior Research Scientist at Yale University’s Haskins Laboratories in New Haven, Connecticut. In 1985 he founded the first Center for Complex Systems and Brain Sciences in the US at Florida Atlantic and also led a NIH-funded National Training Program in this new interdisciplinary field. For most of his scientific career Kelso has been trying to understand how human beings (and human brains)—individually and together—coordinate behavior on multiple levels, all the way from cellular to cognitive and social behavior. He is considered an originator of Coordination Dynamics, a theoretical and empirical framework geared to understanding the functional coordination of living things. Kelso is the recipient of a number of awards including the MERIT, Senior Scientist and Director's Innovation Awards from NIH, the Distinguished Alumni Research Achievement Award from the University of Wisconsin, Docteur Honoris Causa from the Republic of France and the University of Toulouse (est. 1228). In 2007 he was honored to be chosen as Pierre de Fermat Laureate and in 2011 he received the Bernstein Prize. Kelso is a Fellow of AAAS, APA, APS and SEP. Trained in a specifically interdisciplinary setting, his PhD students and Postdocs have gone on to careers in some of the top academic and research institutions in the world.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0in; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 14pt; text-indent: 0.3in; "><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; "> </span></p><div style="margin-top: 0in; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 14pt; text-align: center; text-indent: 0.3in; "><b><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; ">WE WANT TO HEAR ABOUT YOUR WORK, TOO!</span></b></div><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0in; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 14pt; text-indent: 0.3in; "><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; "> </span></p><div style="margin-top: 0in; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 14pt; text-align: center; text-indent: 0.3in; "><b><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; ">CALL FOR ABSTRACTS OF PAPERS, SYMPOSIA, AND POSTERS</span></b></div><div style="margin-top: 0in; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 14pt; text-align: center; text-indent: 0.3in; "><b><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; "> </span></b></div><div style="margin-top: 0in; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 14pt; text-align: center; text-indent: 0.3in; "><b><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; ">Submissions deadline is April 30, 2015.</span></b></div><div style="margin-top: 0in; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 14pt; text-align: center; text-indent: 0.3in; "><b><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; "> </span></b></div><div style="margin-top: 0in; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 14pt; text-align: center; text-indent: 0.3in; "><b><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; ">Submit your abstract(s) electronically at</span></b></div><div style="margin-top: 0in; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 14pt; text-align: center; text-indent: 0.3in; "><b><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; "> </span></b></div><div style="margin-top: 0in; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 14pt; text-align: center; text-indent: 0.3in; "><a href="http://www.societyforchaostheory.org/conf/2015/cfp" style="color: blue; text-decoration: underline; "><b><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; ">http://www.societyforchaostheory.org/conf/2015/cfp</span></b></a><b><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; "></span></b></div><div style="margin-top: 0in; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 14pt; text-align: center; text-indent: 0.3in; "><b><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; "> </span></b></div><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0in; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; "><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Calibri, sans-serif"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 15px;"><br></span></font></p></div></div></div></div></span></body></html>
