The Institute for Noetic Sciences

The Institute for Noetic Sciences (IONS) is a research organization founded in 1973 by former astronaut Edgar Mitchell. It explores the intersection of science, consciousness, and human potential. IONS conducts studies on topics like consciousness, intuition, and the mind-body connection, aiming to understand phenomena that traditional science sometimes overlooks. The institute promotes interdisciplinary collaboration, connecting researchers and fostering innovative approaches to understanding human experience. By investigating the mysteries of consciousness, IONS seeks to expand our understanding of reality and improve individual and collective well-being.
