Introspection

Identifying reliable reports about a person's mind makes it possible to model their beliefs and goals. Such models can then be used to predict action. With rapid feedback on many proposed interventions, a full-fledged exploration of the mind becomes possible. Learn about Leverage's foundational exploration of the human mind.

Introspection is often difficult to learn or yields results that are hard to reproduce or generalize. More than a decade ago, Leverage’s researchers tackled this problem, developing a new introspective method that is easier to learn, yields adequately reproducible data, and makes it relatively easy to identify patterns in the mind.

Studies in Power

After decades in obscurity, quantum biology is now emerging as an important subfield at the intersection of biology and quantum physics. Quantum biologists have identified various potential quantum effects in biological systems; the next steps are to experimentally verify them while seeking out more pervasive effects.

Publications

Quantum biology is the study of quantum effects in biological systems. While biology trivially depends on quantum laws since life contains molecules which have chemical bonds, there are also a variety of non-trivial quantum effects studied by quantum biologists.
