BM-Science – Brain and Mind Technologies Research Centre is a small but growing scientific research organization, established in 2002. It provides a nexus between scientific research in neuroscience and society.
BM-Science specializes in Basic (Fundamental) Neuroscience studies and Applied Neuroscience.
Fundamental Neuroscience research
Current research is focused on developing a comprehensive theoretical framework for the metastable functioning of the human brain and mind by applying the neurophenomenological methodology. This approach aims to deepen our understanding of complex phenomena such as consciousness and Self-awareness (experiential Selfhood). Additionally, this framework is being used to explore the functional continuum encompassing healthy brain-mind states, altered states, and various pathological conditions. By bridging theoretical models with experiential data, this research holds the potential to provide new insights into the dynamic nature of brain-mind functioning across different states of consciousness.
Applied Neuroscience
Current research focuses on developing qEEG screenings within a dimensional approach to neuropsychophysiology, that:
- utilizes concept of qEEG phenotype that reflects a neuropsychophysiological type (neurodynamic constitution) of the individual, including cognitive and behavioral traits, personal capabilities, and emotional regulation that together determine an individual’s performance, liability, and vulnerability to develop or manifest a particular neurodysfunction, and
- considers the entire range of variation, from optimal to sub-optimal to abnormal functioning.
Due to the increasing demand of society for specialized knowledge in our area of expertise, and as a collateral activity of our core scientific research, we can help different entities through consulting or services.
Motivation
Contribute to
- deepening our understanding of the mind-body relationship, explore the intricacies of mind-matter interactions, and uncover the role that consciousness plays within the physical world, and
- enhancing individual well-being and optimizing human performance
By advancing this knowledge, new opportunities will emerge across a broad range of fields, including neuro-philosophy, neurophenomenology, and consciousness studies. Moreover, these insights can significantly impact practical domains such as neuro-psychodiagnostics, therapeutic interventions, education, human communication, and the development of more effective human-machine interfaces. This research has the potential to reshape our approach to mental health, learning processes, and even the way we interact with technology, ultimately contributing to a more comprehensive understanding of human experience.
