About Wagner Alegretti

Wagner Alegretti is a consciousness and bioenergy researcher, electronic engineer, and author affiliated with the International Academy of Consciousness (IAC) and with the Institute for Applied Consciousness Technologies (I-ACT).

He is an electrical engineer (by the USP – Universidade de São Paulo, Brazil), having worked in power generation, medical equipment and software development for telecommunications systems.

Motivated by his own out-of-body experiences, which started during his childhood, he began dedicating to consciousness research in 1980, specializing in subtle energy, OBEs and other psi phenomena. Starting in 1982, he volunteered and worked in different organizations dedicated to this field, and since 1988 has been working full time on activities related to consciousness studies.

He has been instrumental in furthering a multidimensional approach to consciousness science into the international arena, since he left Brazil and moved to the USA in 1994, and also in the establishment of the non-profit International Academy of Consciousness (IAC), its office in London, where he lived for 10 years, and its research campus in Portugal. He served as president of IAC from 2001 to 2014 and is currently one of its most senior researchers and faculty member.

In 1984, Alegretti started working on the development of bioenergy (chi, prana, biofield, subtle energy, vital energy) transducers in a pursuit for a reliable means of detecting bioenergy. This path led to his ongoing research employing functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI).

Alegretti has been offering conferences and courses in this area since 1985, having lectured in universities and congresses around the world, as well as courses in many countries of the American, Asian, European and Oceanic continents. In the area of philosophy, Alegretti dedicates to the study of cosmoethics (ethics based on a multidimensional paradigm of consciousness) and its implications.

He has being working as associate editor of the JofC (Journal of Consciousness) and authored the book “Retrocognitions”, published in English, German, Japanese, Portuguese and Spanish, and currently being translated to French and Italian.
