Our Origins
Our Origins
The Center for the Unification of Science and Consciousness (CUSAC), is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded in 2018 by Tom Campbell, a former NASA and Department of Defense physicist.
For over four decades, Tom has been focused on scientifically exploring the properties, boundaries, and abilities of consciousness. His model of reality represents a big picture perspective that unites the objective and subjective worlds of mind and matter, physics and metaphysics, normal and paranormal, secular and religious.
Our Mission
Our Mission
To advance the scientific understanding of consciousness and human experience through rigorous inquiry and interdisciplinary collaboration.
Our Vision
Our Vision
Millions of people report profound, life-defining experiences that remain unexplained by current science.
CUSAC envisions a world where these experiences are rigorously studied and understood, leading to a deeper insights into consciousness and meaningful, positive change in the world.
Why This Matters
Why This Matters
Neuroscience can describe what the brain does, but it does not yet explain why human experience feels like something at all.
This gap between subjective experience and physical reality remains one of the most fundamental open questions in science.
At the same time, civilization is advancing rapidly, developing neural networks, brain–computer interfaces, and technologies that increasingly interact with human cognition.
Yet the nature of consciousness itself remains unknown.
A deeper understanding of consciousness has the potential to expand the scope of science, bridge objective and subjective knowledge, and influence the future of technology, healthcare, and human civilization.
Phase 1 Research
Phase 1 Research
Following the peer-reviewed publication On Testing the Simulation Theory in the International Journal of Quantum Foundations (2017) and a successful Kickstarter campaign in 2018, we have raised over $236,000 to fund experiments to test the Simulation Hypothesis.
Here are the results of the first set of delayed choice quantum eraser type experiments have been completed.
