Research

The intellect has little to do on the road to discovery. There comes a leap in consciousness, call it intuition or what you will, and the solution comes to you and you don’t know how or why.

Albert Einstein

Heart Rate Variability (HRV) data is being used today to diagnose a multitude of health issues. A person's heartbeat is controlled by the Autonomous Nervous System (ANS) and reveals many different aspects of a person's current state of being.1

One of the states which can be identified is the state of peacefulness and coherence. This stress-free state offers little to no resistance and it is in this state where discoveries are usually made. That is why many people find solutions to their problems while simply going for a walk, or even in the shower of all places. Once that peaceful state is achieved, they immediately know the solution.

This form of knowingness, whether it is called intuition, thinking outside the box, or channeling, is attained when a person aligns their state of being with the solution instead of focusing on the problem.

Thoughts, on the other hand, are limited and are restricted to the current perspective and belief system a person holds.

By using Artificial Intelligence, the goal is to train the machine learning models to distinguish thought from intuition.

Using AI to distinguish thought from intuition

The way the application works is by first recording a session which includes video, audio and HRV data. After the data has been processed and analyzed, the session can then be played back with indicators clearly marking which part of the session was intuitive information, and which part was plain thinking.

FAQ

Q: Is this scientific?
A: Not at the moment. While science is always open to new discoveries, there still remains a bias when it comes to topics such as consciousness.
Q: How many people are working on this research?
A: Currently, there is only me working on this research. I do plan on expanding the team to help me out.
Q: What are your qualifications?
A: I have over 20 years of experience as a software engineer and I have been studying consciousness and metaphysics since 2011. This research is fueled by my passion to bridge the gap between consciousness and technology.
Q: How can I find out more?
A: This website was launched recently. In the coming months, I will go into more details regarding the methods used in the research and add a blog section to keep people updated.
Q: What happens if you succeed?
A: All my discoveries and source code will be released here and made freely available.
Q: And then what?
A: The research doesn't end there, this is just the beginning. It is my prediction that within the next decade, consciousness will become one of the most studied fields in science.

How can I help

We are entering an era where more and more research is being made outside of the institutionalized system. This freedom from ideology and bias will greatly accelerate discoveries and the results will be free and shared with everyone.

About Me

Picture of Stephane Paquette

My name is Stephane Paquette and welcome to Top Down Perspective. The research I am currently working on combines two of my favorite passions in life: technology and consciousness. While technology gives me the perspective of analytical thinking and logic, my research into the origin of consciousness requires me to think "outside the box".

After years of meditation and learning to quiet my mind, I was able to feel the difference between thought and intuition. The subtle difference is one that is felt, as oppose to rationalized in the mind. And since thinking creates its own set of feelings, it is very easy to mistake a thought for intuition.

I created Top Down Perspective to help me continue this research and share my discoveries with everyone. For those of us who believe and understand the difference between thought and intuition, we recognize the possibilities this research can bring.

I believe it's time for individual people and groups to lead the way in research and making new discoveries available to everyone.
