Mapping the Frontier
of Consciousness to Advance Human Flourishing

Support Our Research

We study what it means to feel, suffer, and heal, combining psychedelic-assisted research, neuroscience, and ethical AI to unlock new pathways for those living with the conditions conventional medicine has yet to solve.

Human Potential

Mapping Consciousness Frontiers

FDA approval is arriving. The harder work, getting these treatments to everyone who needs them, starts now. We generate the real-world evidence that makes that possible.

Our Mission

Bridging Consciousness Research and Ethical AI, For the Benefit of Humankind

Changa Institute Research Center is a nonprofit at the frontier of psychedelic science and human development.

We generate the real-world outcomes data that moves psilocybin-assisted therapy from approved to accessible.

Combining decades of expertise in neuroscience, mindfulness, psychedelic-assisted therapy, & AI safety.

Our mission is to understand human consciousness deeply enough to preserve and elevate it.

Our Approach

Four Pillars of Consciousness Research

Pillar 1

Emotional Mapping

We use AI to capture and visualize the felt quality of human experience, valence, intensity, arousal, and cross-modal sensation, before, during, and after therapeutic interventions. Drawing on the Symmetry Theory of Valence and proprietary protocols, we translate subjective inner states into reproducible, analyzable data.

Pillar 2

Psychedelic-Assisted Research

We design and administer rigorously structured psychedelic therapy protocols, developed through Changa Institute's decade of clinical training, to study their effects on PTSD, OCD, depression, and eating disorders under state-regulated frameworks in Oregon and Colorado.

Pillar 3

Neuroplasticity & Brain Activity Tracking

We track real-time brain activity and neurological change across therapeutic sessions, building longitudinal datasets that reveal how consciousness reorganizes itself through healing, and what that means for mental health treatment at scale.

Pillar 4

Ethical AI & Safety Protocols

We develop AI safety frameworks grounded in an understanding of human consciousness and wellbeing, not just capability and efficiency. As AI systems grow more powerful, the science of feeling must be embedded in their design.

We design and administer rigorously structured psilocybin therapy protocols, developed through Changa Institute's decade of clinical training, to study real-world outcomes for PTSD, depression, and OCD inside Oregon and Colorado's state-regulated frameworks. Our data is structured for payer review, VA adoption, and multi-site replication.

Be Part of the Change

Fund the study that brings psilocybin-assisted therapy to every veteran who needs it.

FDA approval proves it works. Our research proves it works at scale, inside the real-world systems that determine coverage, access, and standard of care. When you fund this study, you are closing the distance between a proven treatment and the millions of people still waiting for it.

Make a Gift
We believe the next great frontier isn't outer space, it's inner space. The quality of human consciousness: how we feel, connect, suffer, and heal.
Image

Our cutting-edge research protocols and AI-powered technology are designed to bring humanity closer to that frontier, measuring, mapping, and unlocking the conditions for lasting psychological healing.

$6T

The projected global cost of mental health conditions by 2030, a crisis that touches 1 in 5 adults alive today. The researchers who map the solution now will define the next century of human care.

Our values

Changa Research Lab exists because the tools to study that frontier, AI, neuroscience, and psychedelic research, have finally matured enough to meet the scale of the problem. And because no one has brought them together with the rigor, the ethics, and the genuine care for humanity this moment demands.

Whether you are a philanthropist, foundation, research partner, or someone who believes humanity deserves better tools for healing, FDA approval is arriving. The infrastructure to deliver it equitably is being built right now. There is a place for you in that work.
Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know

What is Changa Institute Research Center?
Icon

CIRC is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit research lab working at the intersection of consciousness science and transformative technology. We use AI, neuroscience, and state-regulated psilocybin frameworks to generate the real-world outcomes data that insurers, the VA, and healthcare systems need to make psilocybin-assisted therapy broadly and equitably accessible.

Who is behind this work?
Icon

CIRC was founded by the team behind Changa Institute, the organization that built the nation's first government-approved psilocybin facilitator training program in U.S. history. Our scientific advisory team includes experts in clinical psychology, neuroscience, and artificial intelligence. We operate within Oregon and Colorado's state-regulated frameworks and are actively involved in shaping psilocybin policy in New Mexico.

What makes your research different from existing psilocybin studies?
Icon

Every landmark psilocybin trial to date, Johns Hopkins, NYU, Imperial College London, was conducted in controlled clinical settings. CIRC is the only institution embedded within real-world, state-regulated therapeutic programs from their inception. We generate the outcomes data that clinical trials cannot produce: evidence that payers require before covering treatment, and that the VA needs to build a national standard of care.

Is my donation tax-deductible?
Icon

Yes. Changa Institute Research Center is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. All contributions are fully tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law. You will receive a formal acknowledgment letter for your records upon donation.

How are donations used?
Icon

Every dollar funds three priorities: participant care for the 30 veterans in our current study, research staff and operational infrastructure across a two-year study period, and data analysis and peer-reviewed publication. CIRC is actively pursuing technology partnerships to co-fund infrastructure costs, maximizing the direct impact of every philanthropic dollar.
