The Institut Suisse des Sciences Noétiques (Swiss Institute of Noetic Sciences) or ISSNOE is an established public utility nonprofit foundation dedicated to the scientific and comparative study of consciousness. The institute's research focuses on altered states of consciousness (ASC), like near-death experiences (NDEs), extrasensory perceptions (ESPs), and out-of-body experiences (OBEs).[1]

History

The ISSNOE was created in 2012 from a merger between the Noêsis association and the Foundation Odier de Psycho-Physique (Odier Foundation of Psychophysics). The Noêsis association was formed by Sylvie Dethiollaz, a PhD student in molecular biology,[2] in 1999. The Foundation Odier de Psycho-Physique by Marcel & Monique Odier in 1992, whose team included biologist Rémy Chauvin and physicist Olivier Costa de Beauregard.[3][unreliable source?][4][5][6][7]

Work

In addition to the Institute's work investigating non-ordinary states of consciousness and near-death experiences, the Institute also focuses on attempting to better understand the fundamental nature of extrasensory perceptions and deciphering distinctive idiosyncrasies[clarification needed] which can lead to out-of-body experiences.[V 1][R 1][V 2]

The research results are summarized in two books, États Modifiés de Conscience (2011) and Voyage Aux Confins de la Conscience (2018).[8][9]

Symposia

ISSNOE members welcome and frequently receive lectures and workshops from researchers, philosophers, physicists, psychologists, and prodromic doctors on their integrative approaches to mourning and the possible survival of the soul and consciousness that survives the death of the physical body.[H 1]

Lecturers include[citation needed]:

Media Appearances

The ISSNOE has participated in a range of television broadcasts, including a C8 interview between Dethiollaz and Thierry Ardisson on his weekly talk show,[V 1] and appearances in programs about OBE on France 2 and France 3.[10][11] The institute has also been featured in a number of radio broadcasts by Radio Télévision Suisse.[12][13]
