Modeling the physical
foundations of awareness
The Center for Sentience Research (CSR) is an independent non-profit based in Switzerland. We bridge physics, neuroscience, and philosophy to understand how sentience arises across all substrates.
Focus Areas
Researching the map of experience
Biological Intelligence
Investigating morphological intelligence, cellular decision-making, and awareness in non-neural systems.
