Welcome to the UCL Centre for Consciousness Research (UCCR)

The first cross-disciplinary center dedicated to advancing the science of consciousness through psychedelics, meditation, and computational neuroscience

We investigate altered states of consciousness - including those induced by psychedelics, meditation, and other contemplative practices - through the lenses of neuroscience, psychology, phenomenology, and computational modeling. Our research explores how these states affect brain function and reshape subjective experience.

By integrating empirical findings with rigorous theoretical frameworks, we aim to deepen scientific understanding of consciousness and identify practical applications for enhancing cognition, creativity, well-being, and human potential.
