About Our Lab

Pioneering research at the intersection of neuroscience, technology, and consciousness studies

Mission Statement

THE AFTERLIFE LAB LLC is dedicated to exploring the fundamental nature of consciousness through rigorous scientific research and innovative neurotechnology development. Our work seeks to answer age-old questions about human experience using modern scientific methods.

Founded in 2018, our interdisciplinary team combines expertise in neuroscience, psychology, engineering, computer science, and philosophy to investigate altered states of consciousness, develop advanced monitoring systems, and create tools for cognitive enhancement and mental wellbeing.

Located in the heart of Seattle's technology corridor, we collaborate with academic institutions, research organizations, and technology partners worldwide to advance our understanding of the human mind and develop practical applications for our discoveries.

Current Research Areas

Ongoing projects exploring the frontiers of consciousness science

Meditation and neuroscience research

Meditation & Brain Plasticity

Investigating long-term meditation effects on brain structure and function using multimodal neuroimaging and behavioral measures. Our research examines how contemplative practices can induce neuroplastic changes that enhance cognitive function and emotional regulation.

Current focus includes:

  • Longitudinal EEG/fMRI studies of advanced meditators
  • Neurofeedback-enhanced meditation training
  • Therapeutic applications for stress and anxiety

Sleep and dream research

Dream Consciousness

Studying neural correlates of dream states and lucid dreaming using polysomnography, EEG, and experience sampling methodologies. We investigate the relationship between dream content, brain activity, and waking consciousness.

Research objectives include:

  • Neural signatures of lucid dreaming
  • Dream content analysis and emotional processing
  • Applications for nightmare treatment and creativity enhancement

VR and consciousness research

Virtual Reality & Altered States

Exploring how immersive VR environments can induce and study altered states of consciousness for therapeutic applications. We develop custom VR experiences to investigate presence, embodiment, and non-ordinary states of consciousness.

Current applications:

  • VR-induced mystical-type experiences
  • Embodiment illusions and self-perception
  • Therapeutic VR for PTSD and phobias
