Scientific Advisory Board & Physics of Humanity Council
The HeartMath Research Center’s work is supported and reviewed by two boards of independent researchers, the Scientific Advisory Board and the Physics of Humanity Council. These groups are comprised of specialists in physics, mathematics, biology, psychology, health, medicine, engineering and computer science. The Scientific Advisory Board is a unique multidisciplinary group of pioneering researchers whose objective is to accelerate new scientific understandings of the central role of the human heart in health and medicine.
The mission of the Physics of Humanity Council, chaired by Doc Childre, is to resolve fundamental scientific, psychological and health issues relative to enhancing the quality of life on earth. The Physics of Humanity Council members blend the mind’s intellect with the heart’s intuitive understanding to expand the boundaries of human awareness. The Council works closely with IHM research staff to facilitate insights and scientific breakthroughs concerning the nature of the heart’s intelligence and its role in human consciousness.
