Participate in our Actively Recruiting Studies
These are the studies we are currently recruiting participants for. See a full list of our studies on our IACS Research Page
Dark Cave, Bright Mind: Mapping Neural and Phenomenological Effects of Dark Retreat Practice
Can extended periods of darkness facilitate profound self-reflection and transformation by disrupting habitual perception patterns? Could this “sober psychedelic” experience lead to insights similar to those induced by traditional psychedelics?
Unlikely Collaborators
Efficacy Study of the Evolve Nervous System Reset Program
Can a VR-based biofeedback program effectively reduce stress and burnout in working professionals? Can a lightweight, immersive EEG system deliver signal quality comparable to gold-standard laboratory equipment? Could this redefine how neurophysiological research is conducted outside traditional lab settings?
Evolve
Understanding the Neurophysiological Effect of Slow Motion Flow Movement
Can slow-motion movement at a precise, constant pace induce distinct neurophysiological signatures associated with mindful awareness and cognitive calm? Could SlowMotionFlow (SMF) offer a uniquely accessible and controlled paradigm for studying real-time brainwave changes during embodied mindfulness?
