The Trace Institute

A nonprofit research initiative led by Donald Hoffman & Chetan Prakash, uniting researchers across math, physics, neuroscience & philosophy.

““Dr. Andrew Gallimore returns to the mind meld to explore his new collaboration with cognitive scientist, Donald Hoffman ... a mind-bending synthesis of altered states research, conscious agents” and mathematics.

Do we perceive reality as it truly is?

Our co-founder, @donalddhoffman , joins @neiltyson on @StarTalkRadio to explore consciousness, evolution, and why reality may be far stranger than it seems.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for Trace's first event with @donalddhoffman and @alieninsect a few weeks ago. It was a fascinating discussion. We look forward to continuing the conversation on consciousness and the frontiers of science.

[Donald Hoffman @donalddhoffman]

It was a pleasure to talk with Neil deGrasse Tyson and co-hosts Chuck Nice and Gary O’Reilly to explore what neuroscience, evolutionary game theory, virtual reality, psychedelics, observers, and consciousness suggest about the nature of reality itself.

What if the world you experience isn't reality itself, but an interface?

Trace is dedicated to advancing the scientific study of consciousness and the deeper nature of reality.

[The Trace Institute @thetraceinst]

Now live: Trace co-founder @donalddhoffman joined @LewisHowes on The School of Greatness.

The conversation explores consciousness, perception, and one of the most provocative ideas in modern science:

What if reality is not what it appears to be?

[Donald Hoffman @donalddhoffman]

It was a pleasure to talk with Lewis Howes about how spacetime is a simple headset created by consciousness, and how physical objects in spacetime, such as brains and bodies, are simply icons in that headset—rendered as needed and then deleted.

What is the nature of reality?

Science can predict what observers measure, but cannot define what an observer is. The Trace Institute considers this a key mathematical challenge to solve.

“DMT seems to shake the very foundations of reality.”

“Extended DMT trips could help scientists probe a new theory of reality that puts consciousness first”.

[Andrew Gallimore @alieninsect]

For years, DMT entity encounters have been dismissed as hallucinations...

Donald Hoffman @donalddhoffman and I are exploring a more fundamental possibility: that DMT temporarily restructures the human perceptual interface, enabling the perception of traces of conscious agents that normally lie beyond the reach of ordinary experience...

A new collaboration between myself, @noonautics, and the newly-founded Trace Institute:

For decades, reports of encounters with seemingly autonomous intelligences during DMT experiences have largely been dismissed as hallucinations.

But what if they're telling us something about consciousness?
