The contents of the book reflect the presentations and discussions held at the first International Conference on Exploring Consciousness, the Man-Machine Debate, From Non Duality to Non Locality held on 22-24 September, 2022 at the National Institute of Mental Health and Neurological Sciences (NIMHANS), at Bangalore, India, at the initiative of the India Foundation, with support from the Ministry of AYUSH, the Indian Council of Philosophical Research and the Federation of Karnataka Chambers of Commerce & Industry. Consciousness is primary for all the experiences in life. The endeavour to understand the origin and nature of consciousness is becoming a mature science. The latter is showing its immense potential application across human endeavours, ranging from fundamental research to clinical applications, ethnics, business, technology and marketing at large for individual and collective well-being. Thus, exchanging and debating information and ideas in this vast domain is of major importance to the scientific community and to society. The purpose of this exercise is to bring together some of the most eminent researchers and inventors in the area of physics, biology, neuroscience, artificial intelligence, cybernetics, quantum computing and allied fields as well as scholars and spiritual teachers of the main Indic spiritual and psychological disciplines and doctrines. This book aims to build bridges and work towards a consensus between scientists, technologists, sociologists, spiritual and philosophical scholars from Indian/Asian and Western traditions.
