About
Nous Index
Nous Index is the definitive resource for the global consciousness research community. We curate and connect researchers, laboratories, conferences, funding sources, practitioners, and training programs working at the frontiers of consciousness science.
From integrated information theory to neurophenomenology, from psychedelic research to philosophy of mind, we bring together the full spectrum of rigorous approaches to the hard problem of consciousness under one roof.
Our Approach
Methodological Pluralism
We index multiple methodological approaches to studying consciousness, from empirical neuroscience to phenomenological investigation and first-person research methods.
Community First
This directory exists to serve researchers and practitioners. We prioritize accessibility, accurate information, and meaningful connections over commercial interests.
Curated Quality
Every listing is reviewed for accuracy and relevance. We maintain high standards while remaining open to emerging voices and unconventional perspectives.
The Team
Nous Index was founded to address a gap: the diverse fields studying consciousness had no central directory. Our editorial team includes neuroscientists, philosophers, and researchers across multiple disciplines.
We are grateful to the many contributors who help maintain and expand this resource, including the researchers who verify their own listings and the community members who submit new discoveries.
