DR. ANDREW GALLIMORE, PhD

Dr. Andrew Gallimore is a renowned neurobiologist, chemist, and pharmacologist, recognized for his groundbreaking work on psychedelic compounds and their role in shaping consciousness. His research explores the intersection of neuroscience, pharmacology, and the nature of reality, with a particular focus on DMT and extended-state psychedelic experiences.

As a key collaborator with Dr. Rick Strassman, Gallimore co-developed the extended-state DMT pharmacokinetic model, a revolutionary method for sustaining DMT experiences in a controlled, medical setting—laying the foundation for DMT X. His book, Alien Information Theory: Psychedelic Drug Technologies and the Cosmic Game, presents a visionary framework for understanding how psychedelics influence human perception and cognition.

Currently based in Tokyo, Japan, Dr. Gallimore continues to push the boundaries of psychedelic science. His latest work, Reality Switch Technologies: Psychedelics as Tools for the Discovery and Exploration of New Worlds, expands on the potential of psychedelics as gateways to unexplored dimensions of consciousness.

At Eleusis, Dr. Gallimore’s pioneering research is at the core of our approach. His expertise ensures that DMT X is delivered in a scientifically precise, medically supervised, and profoundly transformative way—offering guests unparalleled access to the frontiers of consciousness.

CARL HAYDEN SMITH

Carl Hayden Smith is a Director at Noonautics, Founder of the Museum of Consciousness, co-founder of the Cyberdelics Nexus and a Professor of Media. Carl is focused on using both technological and biological means to study and modify the nature of consciousness, his research concentrates on the relationship between technology and the human condition. Carl is developing ‘Hyperhumanism’ which reframes technology as a catalyst for developing our own innate human abilities. Another key area of Smith’s research is Context Engineering, which emphasises the importance of designing appropriate contexts for psychedelic research. Carl has also been very fortunate to be a participant of the N,N-DMT research at Imperial College London for the last eight years and has been through all three phases, including: i) EEG ii) EEG+FMRI and iii) DMTx. Carl was also the first person in the world to sustain the full 5 doses of DMTx during the pilot phase of the study. Raising over £10 million in research funding, he has given over 300 invited public lectures, conference presentations and keynotes in 40 countries and published more than 50 academic papers. His research interests also include Holotechnica, Embodied Cognition, Spatial Literacy, Umwelt Hacking and Sensory Augmentation.
