Research at Psychology
The discipline of psychology has a longstanding tradition of research in cognitive processes (particularly perception, language, active memory) and learning (Centre for Learning Research). Their phenomena are studied on both the psychological and the neurological level. Another key focal point is research on the formation of peer relationships, especially on bullying and its prevention (the KiVa School project). The third field the discipline excels in is the research of consciousness and its various states like dreams. Researchers at the discipline also study the developmental psychology of children and youths (FinnBrain).
The discipline of psychology houses the Centre for Learning Research, a joint venture of the faculty of education and the discipline of psychology. A multiprofessional teaching clinic is run in cooperation with the discipline of social work.
The main focal points of research are studying bullying at school and its prevention (the KiVa International project), research on cognition and various states of consciousness (like dreams), studying the neural basis of various cognitive processes, and research on reading and reading comprehension (including the psychology of language). The discipline also hosts research on the early socioemotional development of children and behaviour in traffic.
The discipline of psychology coordinates two Strategic Research Council projects: Fostering Finnish Science Capital (FINSCI) and Nudging for climate: Using behavioral sciences for steering communities to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and fortify carbon sinks (CLIMATE-NUDGE).
The discipline's researchers have a wide range of expertise on a number of topics in the field of psychology.

The Consciousness Research Group
The conscious mind is life as we experience it: we see the world, feel our emotions and think our thoughts thanks to consciousness. Without consciousness there is “nobody home”; we would be vacant human bodies wandering around like zombies or robots, not conscious beings. Yet, for 21st century science and philosophy, one of the greatest challenges is to explain what consciousness really is. Consciousness is currently one of the hottest topics in psychological science, neuroscience, and philosophy. How does consciousness, our subjective self or “soul”, arise from the activities of the brain? Will science ever be able to truly explain the relationship between our subjective conscious experiences and the objective neural activities going on in the brain?
At the University of Turku, a growing group of researchers has focused on consciousness ever since the 1990's. The major lines of research in the CRG include (1) the philosophical concepts and theories of consciousness and the theoretical development of the science of consciousness (Revonsuo 2006, 2010, 2015), (2) the cognitive and neural mechanisms of visual consciousness (Koivisto & Revonsuo 2010, Koivisto & Grassini 2016), (3) the description and explanation of altered states of consciousness, in particular dreaming, sleep, and nightmares (Revonsuo 2000, Revonsuo & Valli 2009, Revonsuo, Tuominen & Valli 2016; Sandman et al. 2016) and hypnosis (Kallio & Revonsuo 2003, Kallio et al. 2011). In collaboration with The Anesthesia Mechanisms group of Associate Professor Harry Scheinin we are also studying the brain mechanisms of general anesthesia, as a model system for the state shift between consciousness and unconsciousness (Långsjö, Revonsuo & Scheinin 2014; Långsjö et al. 2012).
The Consciousness Research Group covers a wide range of multidisciplinary research on consciousness: from philosophical and theoretical questions to empirical cognitive and neuroscientific research, and from state-level modulation of consciousness by sleep, anesthetics and hypnosis to detailed measurements of the contents, mechanisms and functions of conscious subjective experience.
We have three intertwined lines of research: Philosophy of consciousness, Visual consciousness, and Altered states of consciousness. Together, we aim at novel breakthroughs in the philosophy, theory, methodology, and empirical findings on the relationship between consciousness and the brain, leading to progress in the explanation of the nature of consciousness and a better understanding of the place of human consciousness in the physical world.
Philosophy and theory of consciousness
In this line of research, Prof. Antti Revonsuo has been developing a theoretical and philosophical view about consciousness called Biological Realism. This theory defines consciousness as a higher level of neurophysiological organization in the brain and characterizes phenomenal consciousness as a unified, subjective “world-simulation”, produced by the brain during wakefulness and, importantly, also during dreaming. Metaphysically, Biological Realism is a variety of emergent materialism (as a mind-body theory) and indirect, representative realism (as a theory of perception). Biological Realism has been formulated, discussed, and compared to other philosophical and theoretical approaches especially in the articles and books listed below:

Altered states of consciousness
Anesthesia and sleep
The contents and neural mechanisms of consciousness during experimental anesthesia and sleep
This project is conducted in close collaboration with the Anesthesia Mechanisms Group, led by Associate Professor, MD, PhD Harry Scheinin. Our main focus is on the contents of consciousness during unresponsiveness, and the neural mechanisms that underlie the loss and return of the state of consciousness. By using anesthesia and sleep to modulate the state of consciousness, we aim to separate consciousness from responsiveness, and connectedness from disconnectedness. The major methods we use include the pharmacological manipulation of consciousness by anesthetic agents, high-resolution imaging of brain activity, and electrophysiological measurements during anesthesia and sleep. Data concerning the subjective contents of consciousness is collected and combined with brain imaging and neurophysiological measurements.

Simulation theories
Simulation theories of the function of dreaming: Social simulation / Threat simulation
This research line is based on the evolutionary psychological theories of dream function; the threat simulation theory and the social simulation theory. We test whether dream content is specialized in simulating events that have had especially high evolutionary significance during human evolutionary history, such as dangerous and threatening situations or social bonding and interaction with other significant individuals. The methods we use include content analysis of dream diaries, daily logs, experience sampling, interviews, and questionnaires.
Principal investigators: Jarno Tuominen, Katja Valli, Antti Revonsuo
Neurocognitive basis of dreaming
The objective of this project is to study the neural correlates of dream emotions, and the frequency and quality of emotions in dreams, utilizing home dream diaries, and sleep laboratory awakenings and measurements. Our focus lies heavily in methodological issues, such as how data collection (where, when, how) and analysis methods (who, how) affect the results of dream studies.
Principal investigators: Pilleriin Sikka, Antti Revonsuo, Katja Valli
Nightmares
Prevalence, risk factors and consequences of nightmares
This joint project between University of Turku and National Institute of Health and Welfare investigates the prevalence, risk factors and consequences of frequent nightmares among Finnish adults, utilizing the FINRISK population level epidemiological questionnaire data.
Principal investigators: Nils Sandman, Katja Valli
Health and wellbeing
In this project, we combine the positive psychological approach to human health and well-being with neuroscience in investigating the psychological and neural mechanisms of positive states of consciousness using a multilevel framework that integrates molecular, physiological, and psychological measures.
