Abstract
Summary Consciousness is still a subject that divides scientific opinion on philosophical grounds. Does it exist in separation from cognitive processes? Are there different types and levels of consciousness? Does it exist in animals, and how can we tell? More and more features that we used to consider unique hallmarks of the conscious human mind are now also being recognised in animals ranging from chimpanzees to corvids. This opens up opportunities to study aspects of the conscious mind in animal models. Michael Gross reports.
