There are numerous scientific papers, articles, and books about consciousness and unexplained phenomena. We're starting with websites that might be interesting and we'll be adding other resources over the coming months. If you'd like to contribute to the list, please send us an email and we'd be happy to include your contribution.

We are just beginning to compile this list. For now, we've focused on sharing papers that explicitly discuss Neuroscience and Consciousness. Links have been provided when possible.
