On Day 4 we will talk with Dr. Reggente, the principal investigator for IACS on his concept of the Qualia Compass.
The Neuromodulatory Induction of Meditative States research is aimed at modeling and reinstating the neurocognitive underpinnings supporting gradations in the meditative experience (i.e., different neural representations for deep vs. shallow periods of meditation). One possible mechanism by which we may facilitate the instantiation of deep meditative states may be the direct neuromodulation of key brain structures and circuits during meditation. We seek to validate this notion with the use of focused ultrasound (FUS) neuromodulation applied to four different regions in the brain whose activity has been implicated in meditation.
Moderator:
Carson is an entrepreneur with over 25 years of experience in technology start-up management, Enterprise Software Sales, Nonprofit Governance, Civic Engagement, Product Development and Positioning, Business Planning, and Strategy. Carson lives at the intersection of product and organizational culture interventions that are scientifically validated. He believes care-based cultures are not "soft" but the basis for expansive ideation and deep human flourishing. This results in innovation around product development and operational excellence, which can be validated through new ROI models. Carson is a firm believer that there are business models that align human and environmental benefits with venture-scale business models. The models that do this embrace our neurobiology, and are true expressions of human brilliance.
Panelists:
Dr. Nicco Reggente | Principal Investigator - Institute for Advanced Consciousness Studies
Nicco Reggente, Ph.D. is a neuroscientist and co-founder of the Institute for Advanced Consciousness Studies where he currently serves as Principal Investigator. The overarching theme of his research is the development of neuroimaging-informed, personalized neurotechnology to help individuals achieve desired outcomes. Nicco’s research has spanned the domains of memory, consciousness, and psychiatric disorders. His current focus is on leveraging immersive technology to induce maximally beneficial qualia (e.g. meditative, entheogenic states) that can be captured and re-instantiated via neurofeedback.
Dr. Josh Cain | Senior Scientist - Institute for Advanced Consciousness Studies
Josh’s current focus is investigating ways to use direct human brain stimulation to induce deep meditation, one arm of the collective work toward understanding the mystery of consciousness. By decoding and then inducing particular states of consciousness with clear clinical and/or societal benefits, we hope to produce breakthroughs with near-term real-world impacts. We are actively forming relationships with universities and private companies to expand this work and ensure our scientific findings inform future products, clinical treatment, etc.
