The tenth annual meeting of the Association for the Scientific Study of Consciousness took place between June 23rd and June 26th, 2006, at St. Anne's College, Oxford. It was the most successful ASSC meeting for many years, with over 300 delegates. We would like to thank all conference participants, symposium, workshop and plenary speakers for their excellent contributions.

ASSC10 promoted interdisciplinary dialogue in the scientific study of consciousness. ASSC members as well as non-members are encouraged to submit contributions that address current empirical and theoretical issues in the study of consciousness, from the perspectives of philosophy, neuroscience, psychology, computer science, and cognitive ethology. ASSC10 provided an excellent opportunity for the presentation of new empirical findings or novel theoretical perspectives in an atmosphere that will promote discussion and debate.
