Welcome Nanobiosym Global Summit Attendees

Thank you for your interest in IONS

The Institute of Noetic Sciences (IONS) has been exploring the frontiers of consciousness and human potential for over 50 years. Noetic sciences invite us to explore the deeper nature of our inner worlds, our shared reality, and the interconnection between all things. Our research spans the areas of psi, survival of consciousness, telepathy, mind-matter interaction, collective consciousness, lucid dreaming, including consciousness into the equations of modern physics, and more.

The Secret of Secrets by Dan Brown

The world’s most celebrated thriller writer returns with his most stunning novel yet—featuring IONS and a noetic scientist on the verge of sharing explosive discoveries about the nature of human consciousness. Explore the real science behind the fiction.

Discover the history of IONS

During his journey home from the moon, Apollo 14 astronaut Dr. Edgar Mitchell gazed out at Earth, the stars, and the vastness of space and felt an overwhelming sense of unity with all of existence. He recognized that to truly understand this profound experience (and others like it), we would need a new approach, one that bridges science and spirituality. Out of this vision, he founded the Institute of Noetic Sciences.

Have you ever had a mind-to-mind connection with someone else?


Entangled Minds Study

Do you ever know or feel what someone else feels or thinks? We are looking for emotionally bonded pairs or twins to investigate the phenomenon of mind-to-mind communication. If you have experienced such “telepathic” instances, we invite you to take part in this study.

Have you ever had a spiritual or transcendent experience?


Noetic EXperiences Archive (NEXA)

In a noetic experience, someone receives information or energy from beyond the conventional notions of space and time. An experience of oneness or peace, a message from a deceased relative, a mind-to-mind communication with another person — these are all noetic experiences.

Global Consciousness Project 2.0

A long-term psychokinesis experiment, the Global Consciousness Project collected 23 years of random number generators and resulted in a 7 sigma anomaly. This project will investigate if that result is due to a force-like, causal influence on probabilistic events, or a passive effect based on precognition of fortuitous fluctuations in a random walk.

The Global Consciousness Project 2.0 (GCP 2.0) is a research-based journey into understanding the depths of our connection with the world around us. By delving into the intricate relationship between individual and global consciousness, the project seeks to explain how our shared experiences and intentions can shape our world – even helping to bridge divides and promote greater care and well-being globally.
