Adam is a systems neuroscientist with diverse research experience. His work focuses on multi-scale perspectives of the brain, ranging from cellular to computational levels. During his postdoc and PhD, he used neuroimaging methods to study emotion, behavioral drives, and social cognition. In his current academic collaborations, he is using neural connectomic approaches to investigate ketamine as a novel therapeutic for depression, and exploring computational models of behavior and brain function. He has also worked as a consultant in the pharmaceutical and life science industries, and as a researcher in a startup providing personalized medicine services to clients with difficult-to-treat medical conditions.
I am an independent researcher with multiple affiliations, currently focusing on models of consciousness, free will (or mechanisms of agency), psychedelics, artificial life, and AI (and human) alignment protocols. In addition to ongoing work with the Institute for Advanced Consciousness Studies, I am about to start a position with Michael Levin at the Allen Discovery Center at Tufts University, to work on this project: Adam Safron - Call for Submissions.
Please see this discussion deck for more details on my present activities:

Please see this Youtube channel for recorded conversations (and gym sessions 🏋️ (maybe I should make a separate channel for that?)).
Sometimes I use social media: Adam Safron (@adamsafron) / X
My ultimate purpose is exploring how people can be adaptive, creative, and free in all aspects of their lives, both as individuals and communities.
Compassion is my religion.
