The Beckley Foundation’s principle scientific objectives are to investigate the neurophysiology underlying conscious states, and how physiological changes in the brain – that occur with age, meditation, or the ingestion of psychoactive substances – are reflected in changes in our consciousness and cognitive functioning, and how these changes may be beneficial to health and well-being. Towards this aim the Beckley Foundation has established collaborative research projects with leading scientists in the fields of neurophysiology, biochemistry, psychiatry and psychology, at renowned scientific and academic institutions both in Great Britain and abroad which has over the years led to many publications some of which are listed here.
