Delve into the cutting-edge realm of consciousness research and expand your understanding with the latest scientific discoveries and recent studies on awareness.

Institute of Noetic Sciences

Institute of Noetic Sciences (IONS) researches parapsychological phenomena by applying scientific methodologies to subjective and anomalous experiences often overlooked by mainstream science. The organization aims to expand scientific inquiry to encompass the full spectrum of human experience. They conduct laboratory experiments, social science investigations of transformative experiences, and clinical studies.

The Monroe Institute

The Monroe Institute (TIM) is dedicated to the exploration of human consciousness through education and research. It was founded by Robert A. Monroe, a successful radio broadcasting executive who, after having spontaneous out-of-body experiences in the late 1950s, was motivated to dedicate his life to understanding and helping others explore expanded states of consciousness. TMI's core mission is to "advance the global awakening of human consciousness" by providing individuals with the tools and techniques needed to explore and experience expanded states of awareness.

International Association for Near-Death Studies (IANDS)

International Association for Near-Death Studies (IANDS) functions as a non-profit organization, dedicated to understanding and supporting individuals who have experienced near-death experiences (NDEs) and related phenomena. Founded in 1981, IANDS plays a crucial role in the field of near-death studies by focusing on research, education, and support. IANDS publishes the Journal of Near-Death Studies, a peer-reviewed scholarly journal and a primary academic resource in the field.

Researchers to Follow:

John Stewart Reid
A physicist and researcher known for his work in the field of cymatics, the study of visible sound and vibration. He is the inventor of the CymaScope, a device that makes sound visible. His research aims to visualize the intricate patterns created by sound, which he believes provides new insights into music, healing, and the fundamental nature of reality. He is "an acoustic-physics scientist with a mission to educate, inspire, and excite the world in the field of visible sound—known to science as “Faraday Waves” and to an ever growing number of researchers and explorers as “cymatics”".

Gregg Braden
An author, scientist, and speaker. He is best known for his work bridging science, spirituality, and human potential. He has written numerous books, including The God Code and Deep Truths, and he often discusses topics like heart-brain coherence, ancient wisdom, and the role of emotions in shaping reality. His background includes a career as a computer geologist and senior computer systems designer.

Dr. Tony Nader, MD, PhD
A physician, neuroscientist, and leader of the global Transcendental Meditation organization. He holds an MD from the American University of Beirut and a PhD in Brain and Cognitive Science from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).
