David Chalmers, a professor of philosophy at the Australian National University and director of the Center for Consciousness, has just announced the launch of MindPapers, an online database of papers about the philosophy of mind.
The database is very comprehensive indeed - it includes about 18,000 published and online papers, subdivided into sections such as the philosophy of neuroscience, perception, synaesthesia, language and thought and vegetative states, coma and the minimally conscious state (which are disorders of consciousness).

A lack of clear definitions for terms like "intelligence" and "consciousness" plagues any serious discussion of those concepts.
A bunch of readers, and one commenter in another thread, have all hit me with a pathetic
monstrosity of a purported proof of God. Several have even been misled by the URL where the
SciBarCamp is a gathering of scientists and others, in an effort to create connections across diverse interests, and, wherever possible, annoy the heck out of Larry Moran.
THE vegetative and minimally conscious states are examples of what are referred to as disorders of consciousness.
It´s amazing the managerial and compilling skills of Professor Chalmers. In the goal to disseminate knowledge at free disposal for the benefit of all, i think he was the first within the philosophical (plus science) community to create a very useful database with articles.
Thank you very much for the useful information. It is realy a huge pice of work.
