What Is Noetic Science?

Brown’s The Lost Symbol has caused a lot of interest in Noetic Science. This site is not associated with the Institute Of Noetic Sciences and it’s aim is more of a visual trip through The Lost Symbol. We hope to keep adding interesting images associate not only with Noetics Sciences but also with events in Dan Browns book surrounding Katherin Solomon, our Noetic Scientist. Keep coming back often!

no•et•ic:From the Greek noēsis/ noētikos, meaning inner wisdom, direct knowing, or subjective understanding. As defined by the philosopher William James in 1902, noetic refers to “states of insight into depths of truth unplumbed by the discursive intellect. They are illuminations, revelations, full of significance and importance, all inarticulate though they remain; and as a rule they carry with them a curious sense of authority…”

sci•ence: Systems of acquiring knowledge that use observation, experimentation, and replication to describe and explain natural phenomena

no•et•ic sci•ences: A multidisciplinary field that brings objective scientific tools and techniques together with subjective inner knowing to study the full range of human experience.

There are three principle areas in the Noetice Sciences:

Noetic Sciences Experiments

For some time scientists have been carrying out experiments that were suggesting that we subconsciously predict what will happen next: that we have precognition and therefore allows us to make intuitive decisions. This theory was highlighted via an experiment that used a slideshow that randomly selected positive and negative imagery. By attaching GSR sensors (a method of measuring the electrical resistance of the skin) to the respondents, the anticipation that each slide would be an emotionally charged or non emotionally charged created varying results. These results were interpreted as being the key moment of precognition.
