Links on Consciousness,
Mind, and Cognition.

Probably the best places to begin your search for material on the mind, consciousness, and cognition are the
Open Directory Project pages on:
Philosophy of Mind - Cognitive Science - Consciousness Studies.
The Open Directory Project pages provide much more comprehensive collections of links than this page does. I know because I used to edit them! Since Yahoo!^® has gone commercial, the Mozilla Open Directory Project (compiled by thousands of volunteer editors) is probably the best general web directory for serious scientific or scholarly research (and for many other things too). Many of the well known commercial search sites now base their directories on ODP data, but the most up-to-date (and, usually, the fastest loading) version can always be found at the home site: http://dmoz.org - N.J.T.T.

• Science and Consciousness Review
  News and views about scientific research on consciousness. - Site is currently (June 13, 2008) closed, but expected to return soon

• Behavioral and Brain Sciences Online
  Behavioral and Brain Sciences is the leading cognitive science journal. This site gives free access to virtually all the target articles it has published, going back many years. Some additional services require free registration. Unfortunately what makes the print journal especially valuable, the peer commentaries on the target articles and the target authors' replies, are not available online.

  Searchable and browsable electronic Archive of published and unpublished papers in the cognitive sciences and related fields.

  Links to on-line news items in Psychology, Cognitive Science, Psychiatry, Neuroscience, Anthropology, Primatology, and the other Human Sciences. Sadly, this no longer seems to be being updated.
