Neuronoetics studies the relationships through which a human being comes to exist, to inhabit oneself, and to enter the world.
Neuronoetics is entering a new stage: the root, laboratory and memory of a decades-long inquiry, while ALEXANDRIA gradually steps into a public presence of its own.
Neuronoetics — World Institute for the Science of Consciousness is the home of an inquiry begun by Ricardo Rojas Bedoya more than five decades ago around one fundamental question: what are we?
That question led to the study of the BRAIN, but the brain was not enough. It led to the MIND, but the mind was not enough either. It led to CONSCIOUSNESS and, finally, to that which inhabits the mind, makes use of the brain's services, and enters the world through the body: the INQUILINO.
From that inquiry emerges iSYS, a model devoted to studying the relationships among CONSCIOUSNESS, MIND, BRAIN and INQUILINO, and the processes through which a human being comes to exist, inhabit oneself and enter into relationship with the world.
Today Neuronoetics houses that journey, its archive, and the investigations that continue to emerge from it — among them SENTIENCE, ADAGIO and other experimental and conceptual developments. As ALEXANDRIA gradually begins to assume a public presence of its own, Neuronoetics remains root, laboratory and memory.
The Inquilino is not an ingredient added at the end. Its inclusion reorganizes the question: who inhabits the mind, receives the services of the brain, enters the world through the body, and participates in the relationship with consciousness?
A model in development for studying, distinguishing and relating the Inquilino, mind, brain and consciousness without confusing the conceptual map with the territory it seeks to represent.
Research in development into the nature of sentience and its possible relationships with molecular organization, life and vivential mechanics.
A body of research and tools concerned with the relationships among experience, vivencia and the organization of mind.
Neuronoetics has integrated neurofeedback into its research on brain regulation and training, and on the operational relationships among brain, mind and Inquilino.
The archive preserves materials on Transcendental Meditation, Pharyngeal Breathing, ARISTO and other pedagogical and experimental developments that emerged during the Neuronoetics journey.
The initial document preserves one stage in the history of Neuronoetics: the formulation of iSYS; work with neurofeedback; a long trajectory of practicing and teaching Transcendental Meditation; and the development of Pharyngeal Breathing and ARISTO. It is preserved as a historical archive, not as a limit or exhaustive definition of the research as it stands today.
