We are physicists, technologists, designers, and clinicians united by a conviction: consciousness is not an embarrassment for science to explain away, but the next great frontier to investigate.
Operators, scientists, and stewards.
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.
A future where humanity lives in full alignment with the nature of reality.
Consciousness is the missing link to the next paradigm. We amplify the researchers who can put it to the test, before it's too late.
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.
We don't have the luxury of waiting. The questions are too important, and the world is moving too fast.
CUSAC is committed to transparency as a nonprofit organization. Our annual IRS filings are available below for public review.
