THE AMBITION
A place where frontier research on the self is turned, systematically, into accessible tools.
What we do
Research
Mechanistic studies of the self-model across its dimensions
Intervention science with psychedelics, VR, AI, meditation and breathwork
Neuroimaging and computational modelling
Open-science outputs: datasets, validated protocols and shared tools for the field
Translation
Psychiatrists embedded from day one.
A fellowship ecosystem for translational researchers and entrepreneurs
Regulatory and ethical infrastructure
Engagement with policy leaders.
What we deliver
Map the self in the brain: Where, when and how the self-model shifts
Build tools people can actually use: VR experientials that run on existing headsets, psychedelic-assisted therapy programmes for depression and anxiety, and self-guided tools that put self-change within reach of everyone.
Reach patients and people: Through partnerships with clinics and hospitals, and through spin-off companies that turn proven protocols into scalable products.
Why Switzerland
Switzerland combines world-class neuroscience, a long tradition at psychiatry’s frontier, a workable regulatory path, and policy makers open to shaping how these interventions become available.
