Capstone Project

The Capstone Project is a two-semester research project where students integrate their knowledge of consciousness studies and AI. They will identify a research question, develop a proposal, conduct experiments or simulations, and present their findings. Examples of projects include:• Developing AI tools for enhancing meditation practices • Investigating the neural correlates of consciousness using machine learning • Creating ethical frameworks for AI systems based on principles of human awareness

Internship Opportunities

Students will have the option to participate in internships with tech companies, research labs, mental health organizations, and educational institutions to gain hands-on experience in applying AI and consciousness studies in real-world settings.

Career Prospects

Graduates of the program will be well-prepared for careers in:• Cognitive and AI Research • Mental Health Technology Development • Human-Computer Interaction Design • AI Ethics and Policy • Educational Technology • Mindfulness and Well-being Programs

Overall

This innovative degree program aims to bridge the gap between the profound human consciousness and the transformative potential of AI technologies. By integrating these fields, students will be at the forefront of creating intelligent systems that not only enhance human capabilities but also respect and elevate the richness of human experience.
