Jennifer Windt is a Senior Lecturer in Philosophy at Monash University, specializing in the study of spontaneous thoughts and experiences that can occur when decoupled from ongoing tasks or environmental demands. She explores states of diminished behavioral responsiveness and inwardly directed attention, with a focus on how these relate to executive control and spontaneous associative trains of thought. Her research investigates the role of spontaneous experiences in consciousness, particularly in the contexts of sleep, dreams, and mind wandering. Windt aims to understand the range of spontaneous conscious processes and the similarities and differences that exist between sleep-wake states. She employs analysis of these processes to address foundational questions regarding consciousness and self-experience. Windt's recent publications include the book 'Dreaming' (MIT, 2015), and she is dedicated to promoting high-quality open access publications. Her active research projects include the Dreamscape Project, which examines the phenomenology and neurophysiology of dreams, among others.
