RESEARCH
The Institute is currently studying thousands of documented NDEs with a focus on veridical confirmation and statistical significance. Reports and conclusions are almost ready and will be published soon.
The Institute is conducting and funding a unique mediumship research project that is currently yielding highly statistically significant results. A paper will be published when complete.

QUOTES
"The question of life after death is the most important question of human existence. Everything else pivots on that"
Dr Raymond Moody, Psychiatrist, Philosopher
"I regard consciousness as fundamental."
Max Planck
"Reality is a process that involves your consciousness at every level"
Dr Robert Lanza MD, research scientist, author
"Consciousness is the essence of who we are"
Dr Pim van Lommel, Cardiologist
"Human mystery is incredibly demeaned by scientific reductionism"
Sir John Eccles, Nobel Prize in Medicine & Physiology
"A scientific world-view which does not profoundly come to terms with the problem of conscious minds can have no serious pretensions of completeness"
Sir Roger Penrose, Nobel Prize in Physics
"To suppose that consciousness or mind has localization is a failure to understand neurophysiology"
Dr Wilder Penfield, Pioneering Neurosurgeon
"At the heart of science you have to believe that there is a truth, that there is something greater to be discovered."
Dr Rosalind Picard, Professor at MIT
"The day science begins to study non-physical phenomena, it will make more progress in one decade than in all the previous centuries of its existence"
Nikola Tesla
""For the scientist who has lived by his faith in the power of reason, the story ends like a bad dream. He has scaled the mountains of ignorance, he is about to conquer the highest peak; as he pulls himself over the final rock, he is greeted by a band of theologians who have been sitting there for centuries".
Dr Robert Jastrow , NASA scientist, astrophysicist
"Scientists are terrified of a world where math doesn't work, because then they are no longer "scientists"—they are just people wondering in the dark like everyone else."
The Hardman Institute
IN MEMORIAM
The Hardman Institute was inspired by, and founded in loving memory of, Heidemarie Hardman (1924-2024) whose steadfast belief and faith that "we will meet again" was unwavering. She experienced an out of body NDE in hospital during a miscarriage with severe blood loss in 1953 at the age of 29, and HICS is a tribute to her pure soul, her love and kindness, her faith and strength until the end, and her unshakable conviction that "there is so much more than we know".
