Founded in 2019, the Institute for Advanced Consciousness Studies (IACS) is a 501(c)(3) research laboratory using immersive, experiential technology, neuromodulation, neurofeedback, and altered states to study consciousness. Specifically, our aim is to precisely capture, model, and provide an at-will instantiation of discrete states of consciousness that beget positive behavioral outcomes. Our current focus is on fostering meditative and entheogenic experiences. IACS operates out of a modern research laboratory in Santa Monica, CA
