Bioelectromagnetic interaction between people on the basis of Alpha/ Theta synchrony of body movement, heart and brain waves synchronization
The Alpha State of heart frequencies, brain waves and synchronized moving of the body of two or more people in the interactive communication can be studied psychophysiologically, and therefore explain interactive communication and “alpha/theta synchrony” ( theta flow).

Brain2Brain extrasensory communication and influence
In this study we will record brain oscillatory patterns and use them to stimulate different brains, using tACS, in order to extrasensorily transfer information between two brains, and also to influence the cognitive processes of the receptor brain with the patterned intentions of the sender.

Homeopathic Pathogenetic Experimentation of Ayahuasca and Prospective Neuropsychological Effects
We will study the homeopathic pathogenetic effects of Ayahuasca on human being and bring to the field of neuroscience and medicine in general an experimental model with about 210 years old (Homeopathy and the Homeopathic Pathogenetic Experimentation on Humans), following an original protocol.

Neural and Psychophysiological effects resulting from the application of a relaxing function Biomagnetic Pair onto the human body
Evaluate the effects of the application of one relaxing function Biomagnetic Pair in brain waves, evaluate if the application of the relaxing function Biomagnetic Pair shows biological alterations given by Biomarkers and evaluate if the application of the relaxing function Biomagnetic Pair induces the subjects to an Altered State of Consciousness

Psychophysiological correlations in the integrative oncology approach
Integrative Medicine is gaining attention worldwide both in terms of a complementary and an alternative approach to the conventional therapies. Integrative Oncology has expanded in different categories: alternative medical systems; biologically based practices; energy medicine, mind-body medicine and manipulative body-based practices, this study aims to explore its Psychophysiological correlations.

Investigating whether sounds/prayers belonging to traditional healing systems may act on human adult stem cells affecting the transcription of stemness/multipotency genes, as well as their differentiating outcomes and the secretion of trophic mediators that may help to rescue a diseased organ.

Homeopathy, Acupuncture, Science of Consciousness & Integrative Medicine
Studying the Human Being starting from the reference axis of its Bio-psycho-social-spiritual Totality, in a Holistic and Integrative point of view, is our main goal. For this, we will have to be comprehensive, studying medical disciplines such as Homeopathy, Acupuncture, Science of Consciousness and Neuroscience, Molecular Biophysics, Epigenetics, Systems Complexity, Psycho and Biodynamic, Herbal Medicine, among others, basing ourselves on the current medical knowledge, building bridges between areas that complement each other, thus increasing our understanding of the person in health and disease.
We understand disease as a function of a Global Modified State of Operation of the Person as a Whole / Altered States of Consciousness-Mind-Emotions-Body, and it is in this perspective that we are developing studies to test this hypothesis in view of a unified theory of the State of Health/Disease. We seek the scientific understanding of the person and its sufferings, and the correct approach to the patient, seeking to recover Health.
