The TASTE project is an attempt to work toward rectifying the limitations of the materialist paradigm, which typically does not accept the authenticity of the first-person experience. When expressing themselves within this world view scientists and others are required to deny or repress parts of their own human experience. These Archives are an online journal performing the essential scientific function of full and honest communication of first person or experiential data in this area.

We emphasize the word data: we believe that such experiences are important to share in a broader perspective, in the spirit of scientific curiosity, and a desire to increase our knowledge of the nature of human consciousness.
