European Center for Limbic Sovereignty
A research studio where we study AI and language and how the two can enhance democracy across the globe.
Welcome
What moves me most — after thirty years as a clinician, activist, and researcher — is the moment a person stops being captured by fear and starts thinking clearly again.
I have spent my life learning how to create the conditions for that moment, and studying what makes it possible.
This center exists because those conditions now matter beyond the therapy room.
AI systems are shaping human attention, emotion, and thought in ways most people cannot yet feel or name.
I research what that means — and what becomes possible when we reclaim that ground.
