Preparing Minds for the
Age of Intelligence

As machine intelligence and synthetic influence become woven into how we learn, think, create and decide, understanding their own experience gives young people a way to recognise and resist the pressures that narrow thought, feeling and expression, while enhancing their capacity for depth of attention, relationship and life.

Developed in response to the conditions shaping attention, identity, and agency, Experience Studies brings together research, education, and practice to better understand how human experience is formed and influenced. Working alongside educators, researchers, and schools, IMCE is helping define the field and translate its insights into practical educational frameworks.

From synthetic influence and AI companions to attention capture and cognitive outsourcing, the environments shaping human experience are changing rapidly. By identifying and organising these emerging pressures, IMCE helps inform the IMCE research agenda and guide the educational response.

Experience Studies is an open educational field, shaped through research, practice, and shared contribution. Our articles, videos, guides, and teaching materials make its ideas accessible and invite wider exploration, application, and development.

Preparing minds for the Age of Intelligence requires more than education alone. It calls for a wider ecosystem of learning, guidance, trusted relationships, and support that extends across schools, families, communities, and society as a whole. IMCE explores how these different layers can work together.
