The team

A small group, asking large questions.

Manas AI is led by researchers and builders who refuse to choose between depth and delivery — and who treat the science of mind with the same rigour as any other branch of natural philosophy.

How we work

A small lab, a wide network.

We keep the core team intentionally small — and lean on a wide network of academic collaborators, clinicians, contemplative practitioners, and engineering partners. If your work touches any of the four research thrusts, we likely already share a research question.

Collaborate

Researchers

Cognitive science, neuroscience, psychiatry, contemplative studies — all welcome. We are especially interested in joint protocols.

Build

Engineers

Embedded systems, ML, mobile, sensors. If you want to ship something that matters, and don't mind reading a paper before writing the code, we should talk.

Practice

Practitioners

Teachers, clinicians, retreat leaders. Your lived expertise shapes our instruments and keeps us honest about what is — and isn't — measurable.
