Nervous-System-Aware Governance

Institutions change people. Governance should account for how.

NSAG connects neuroscience, law, public health, design, and institutional operations through fifteen evidence-led module scopes and human-supervised advisory work.

Fifteen module scopes and their overview PDFs are published and free to read. Several parts of NSAG are deliberately switched off — see exactly what is and is not running before you go further.

Fifteen lenses for institutional design

Each module states the evidence base for one institutional design problem, six proposed governance dimensions, and the implementation questions an institution would have to answer. Read what each one covers before deciding whether it is relevant to you.

M1Legal & Justice

Trauma-Informed Legal Space

Up to 90% of justice-involved youth and about 75% of adults have experienced at least one traumatic event. Legal spaces are rarely designed for that.

M2Legal & Justice

AI Legal Navigation

Algorithmic risk tools influence bail, sentencing, and parole for roughly two-thirds of the US population — usually without the affected person knowing.

M3Healthcare & Clinical

Psychedelic Harm Reduction

Psychedelic-assisted therapy is reaching clinical and community practice faster than the governance needed to deliver it safely.

M4Healthcare & Clinical

Cannabis Public Health Infrastructure

Cannabis is pharmacologically active in roughly 35% of a patient population and documented in about 5% of their records.

M5Civic & Built Environment

Biophilic Civic Infrastructure

A forty-year evidence base ties nature exposure to measurable physiological effects. Few civic institutions have ever assessed their own.

M6Legal & Justice

Ethical Civic Sponsorship

Three decades of research show how industry sponsorship shapes institutional behaviour, research agendas, and policy positions.

M7Civic & Built Environment

Conscious Cities

Zoning, development approval, and infrastructure investment are mental-health decisions that most planning processes never examine as such.

Open the M7 module scope →
M8Healthcare & Clinical

Burnout Recovery Infrastructure

Twenty-five years of evidence identify burnout as an institutional governance failure. The standard response is still a wellness app.

M9Healthcare & Clinical

Cannabis Healthcare Visibility

The gap between cannabis-use prevalence and its documentation in health records runs about seven to one.

Open the M9 module scope →
M10Healthcare & Clinical

Healthcare Built Environment

Roughly six hundred studies make facility design a clinical governance decision. Most hospital facilities teams have never seen that literature.

M11Healthcare & Clinical

Medical Technology & Evidence Standards

An algorithm used for 200 million patients produced systematic racial bias, and the infrastructure to detect it did not exist.

Nervous-System-Aware Education Systems

Classroom design explains about sixteen percent of variation in academic progress — comparable to many curriculum interventions.

M13Healthcare & Clinical

Traditional & Complementary Medicine Governance

Institutions are adopting traditional and complementary practices without evidence-integration or cultural-authority frameworks.

M14Space & Extreme Environments

Space Governance and Interplanetary Jurisdiction

Space law was written for robotic probes and short orbital missions, not long-duration or commercial human activity.

M15Space & Extreme Environments

Isolation, Confinement & Extreme Environments

Extended isolation and confinement produce predictable psychological and physiological degradation that governance can anticipate.

Everything NSAG does not do is listed here, in one place, so the rest of the site can get on with the substance. A module scope is a public working document — not a validated scoring instrument, audit opinion, accreditation, certification, legal determination, or clinical recommendation.

Available nowFifteen module scope pages, their cited evidence and proposed governance dimensions, direct overview-PDF downloads, and discovery-call scheduling.
Human-supervisedAdvisory and CE partnership discussions. A person defines scope, reviews evidence, and communicates next steps.
PausedAssessment submissions and tier reports, emailed reports and newsletters, subscriptions, benchmarking, automated intelligence and follow-up, certification, accreditation, and checkout. CE enrolment is not open and accreditation applications are still in process, so no CE credit can be awarded yet.
