University of Wisconsin-Madison research center founded by Richard Davidson, PhD. Extensive NIH-funded research portfolio with publications in PNAS and JAMA Psychiatry. Pioneering work in contemplative neuroscience, meditation research, and the science of well-being.

Multi-institution preregistered adversarial collaboration testing competing theories of consciousness (IIT vs. GNWT). Published landmark results in Nature (2025) as part of the $30M Accelerating Research on Consciousness initiative funded by Templeton World Charity Foundation.

Philosophical framework proposing the brain acts as a filter or reducing valve for consciousness rather than generating it. Rooted in Bergson, Huxley, and James, it reframes the hard problem by suggesting consciousness is fundamental and the brain limits rather than produces it.

Professor Emeritus at Washington State University. Researches the biological effects of electromagnetic fields via voltage-gated calcium channel (VGCC) activation, providing a specific molecular mechanism for how EMFs affect cellular function.

Earth's electromagnetic resonant frequency (~7.83 Hz), generated by lightning activity in the cavity between the Earth's surface and ionosphere. Predicted by Winfried Schumann in 1952 and empirically confirmed. Frequency overlaps with human brain alpha/theta rhythms.

Director of Research at HeartMath Institute. Studies heart-brain coherence, heart rate variability, and the electromagnetic field of the heart, providing measurable biometric links between emotional states and physiological function.

Renowned neurologist and author whose clinical narratives revealed the extraordinary diversity of human consciousness. His case studies document how neurological conditions can produce profound alterations in perception and self.

World's foremost authority on savant syndrome. Documented hundreds of cases over 50+ years, including acquired savants who developed extraordinary abilities after brain injury, raising profound questions about latent human potential.

Psychiatrist researching telepathy in autistic savants. Johns Hopkins-trained, her experimental work attempts to document anomalous communication abilities under controlled conditions.

Harvard psychiatrist and Pulitzer Prize-winning biographer. Conducted extensive clinical research on anomalous experience reports, bringing psychiatric rigor to a highly stigmatized topic.

Foundational American psychologist and philosopher. Pioneered the scientific study of religious experience and consciousness. His filter/transmission theory of consciousness remains influential in consciousness studies.

Quantum consciousness theory developed by Penrose and Hameroff. Proposes that consciousness arises from quantum computations in brain microtubules, connecting quantum gravity to conscious experience.

Anesthesiologist and consciousness researcher at the University of Arizona. Co-author of Orch OR theory with Roger Penrose, proposing quantum processes in microtubules as the basis of conscious experience.

Nobel Prize-winning mathematical physicist. Co-developed the Orchestrated Objective Reduction (Orch OR) theory of consciousness with Stuart Hameroff, proposing that quantum computations in brain microtubules give rise to consciousness.

Research organization founded in 2021 dedicated to funding, coordinating, and disseminating reincarnation research worldwide. Launched the Published Reincarnation Case Database with BIAL Foundation grant support in 2024.
