ALIUS is an international and interdisciplinary research group dedicated to the investigation of all aspects of consciousness, with a specific focus on non-ordinary or understudied conscious states traditionally classified as altered states of consciousness.

In Latin, alius means “different”. This lexical choice reflects the group’s mission to study the diversity of consciousness in a systematic manner. ALIUS puts a particular stress on the need for a naturalistic approach to all aspects of consciousness, including states and experiences which have long been unduly associated to parapsychology and pseudoscientific hypotheses.
