Medford/Somerville, Mass. – In Madeleine Nash’s article “Mystery of Consciousness,” Tufts Professor Daniel Dennett’s research is cited among the leading research on consciousness and the human brain.

   TIME reports that many scientists have explored the brain’s role in consciousness. “Their answers have ranged from the optimism of Tufts University’s Daniel Dennett, who says consciousness will one day be understood as nothing more complicated than a kind of biological software routine, to the outright pessimism of Rutgers University’s Colin McGinn.”
