Astera Neuro

Astera Neuro seeks to understand and engineer consciousness. Understanding how the brain builds a conscious model of the world and self is the grand scientific challenge of the 21st century, and we are building Astera Neuro to solve it. By combining large-scale neuroscience, brain-machine interface technology, and AI, we aim to identify the principles by which the brain constructs perception, thought, internal state, and sense of self, and develop the tools to causally manipulate these processes. Our mission is to transform the study of consciousness into an engineering discipline, enabling radical expansion of perception and cognition, amelioration of diseased states of consciousness, and merging of biological and artificial minds.

Princeton, Natural and Artificial Minds

The goal of the Natural and Artificial Minds (NAM) initiative is to support opportunities for mutual interaction across the cognitive sciences and AI, accelerating discoveries about natural and artificial minds and creating a unique community for theory-driven research in cognitive science.

Prolific

Prolific is the research infrastructure trusted by thousands of scientists to recruit high-quality human participants at scale. Founded by researchers, for researchers, Prolific gives you instant access to a global pool of over 300,000 pre-screened participants, so you can run behavioral experiments and collect high-quality neural and cognitive data.

Every participant is verified with over 50 identity and quality checks, so you get 100% human responses, guaranteed. If any AI bots or agents get past Prolific’s powerful pre-study checks, we’ll give you twice the cost of those participants back.

Prolific's screening tools let you recruit by cognitive profile, language background, neurological history, and dozens of other attributes. Our ethical pay standards attract motivated, attentive participants who take your tasks seriously, leading to cleaner data and higher reproducibility.

Whether you're running psychophysics longitudinal studies, testing computational models, or building human datasets that ground AI research in real cognition, Prolific is built for the rigor your science demands.
