Research Themes

Conceptual Frameworks

Core topics connecting consciousness research, subjective experience, and artificial intelligence.

Beral Layer

A proposed layer for describing pre-reflective conditions of experience.

Kamae

A stance-oriented concept for how subjective readiness and action emerge.

Concordance Dynamics

A model for alignment, mediation, and dynamic coherence in experience.

Free Will

Research into agency, choice, timing, and the felt structure of action.

Qualia

Exploration of subjective qualities that resist purely external description.

Consciousness & AI

Comparative inquiry into artificial systems and human subjective experience.

Experiments

Protocols & Exploration

Experimental directions for observing action, readiness, and subjective timing.

Protocol

Kamae-Libet Protocol

A protocol exploring readiness, intention, and the timing of subjective agency.

Measurement

EEG Experiments

Exploratory measurements linking brain activity, subjective report, and action timing.

Prototype

Muse2 Exploration

Lightweight experimentation with wearable EEG and reflective self-observation.

Applications

Software Prototypes

Application cards are loaded from apps.json for easy future expansion.
