Mark C. Price

Professor Mark C. Price is a faculty member in the Department of Social Psychology at the University of Bergen, Norway. He is affiliated with several research groups including the Research Group for Teaching and Learning in Higher Education and the Research Group on Decision Making, Intuition, Consciousness and Emotions (DICE Group).

His research focuses on:

• Synesthesia (particularly "tickertape experience" and "sequence-space synesthesia")
• Visual imagery
• Intuition and awareness in implicit learning
• Consciousness research and "The Hard Problem of consciousness" (explaining subjective experiences scientifically)

Professor Price teaches various subjects within perception, attention and consciousness, and serves as course leader for the cognitive psychology module PROPSY305, an international course taught in English. His research spans multiple disciplines within cognitive psychology and consciousness studies, with a particular emphasis on understanding how subjective experiences can be scientifically investigated through empirical methods.

His publication record shows consistent output from 2000 to 2021, with recent work focusing on synesthesia frameworks, visual imagery measurement, and the relationship between strategic control and conscious knowledge. The research demonstrates interdisciplinary connections between cognitive psychology, neuroscience, and philosophy of mind, particularly in addressing how subjective experiences can be measured and understood within scientific frameworks.

Professor Price is affiliated with the Bergen Laboratory for the Study of Decision, Intuition, Consciousness, and Emotion (DICE), where he conducts empirical research on consciousness phenomena. His work contributes significantly to our understanding of the boundaries between conscious and unconscious cognitive processes, with implications for both theoretical understanding and potential clinical applications.
