Intangible Realities Lab Mini-Showcase: A New Academic Partnership
We partnered with the Intangible Realities Lab (IRL) at the University of Santiago de Compostela in Spain.
José delivered a presentation that combined academic research findings with a hands-on showcase demonstrating cyberdelic innovations.
A highlight of this trip was helping in the facilitation of a scientific study led by Catherine Andrew using Anuma's Clear Light Essence, a numadelic experience developed by Dr. David Glowacky and the Numadelic Labs team to aid terminally ill patients in preparing for death and dying.
Earlier versions of this experience have been scientifically studied, showing correlations with psychedelic experiences particularly in areas of group connectedness, ego attenuation, and experiences of oneness.
Now it's been further studied to implement this in various areas including hospitals, palliative care, hospices, and more.
This collaboration with Intangible Realities Labs and Numadelic Labs has opened exciting possibilities for future research in the cyberdelic & numadelic fields.

In case you haven't heard the word "numadelic" before, here is a picture that explains various definitions and approaches to cyberdelics:
While these terms may seem distinct at first glance, they all converge on a similar vision: the use of technology to explore and expand consciousness. Here’s how they relate:
- Cyberdelics: The broadest term, encompassing any cybernetic, electronic, or digital tools designed to learn how to navigate and explore altered states of consciousness, highly inspired by psychedelic experiences and other endogenous altered states like breathwork, flow, oneness, trance, etc.
- Numadelics: Derived from “pneuma” (meaning breath, spirit, or soul), this approach focuses on exploring consciousness and the soul through technology. It emphasizes creating transformative experiences that connect with our spiritual essence through digital means.
- Technodelics: Highlights the technological and systematic approach to altered states, particularly through electronic and digital means. It works by manipulating sensorimotor input through synchronized multi-sensory experiences, aiming to create neuroplastic changes similar to traditional psychedelics but through technological means.
- Moistmedia: A more artistic and biological perspective, referring to the integration of digital technology with biological systems and consciousness. It emphasizes the “wet” interface between technology and human consciousness.
All these approaches share the common goal of using technology to enhance human consciousness and create meaningful experiences, just approaching it from slightly different philosophical and practical angles.
