Founded in 1992 by Dr. Hiroshi Motoyama, the California Institute for Human Science at 701 Garden View Court in Encinitas's New Encinitas district is a WSCUC-accredited nonprofit graduate university offering master's and doctoral programs in Psychology, Integral Health, and Integral Noetic Sciences. The institute earned regional accreditation from the Western Association of Schools and Colleges Senior College and University Commission in 2021, formalizing the academic rigor behind a curriculum that bridges empirical research methodology with consciousness studies — a philosophical orientation aligned with the contemplative traditions at Self-Realization Fellowship Meditation Gardens nearby on the 101. CIHS is internationally recognized for its research into energy medicine and subtle-energy physiology using the AMI — Apparatus for Meridian Identification — a bioelectric measurement device invented by Dr. Motoyama to quantify meridian-point function. Degree programs include a bachelor's completion track in Integral Studies, master's and Ph.D. tracks in Clinical Psychology, and graduate concentrations in Comparative Religion and Philosophy and Life Physics. The Center for Lifelong Learning extends the university's programming to the public through lectures, workshops, and events, connecting the campus to Encinitas's broader mind-body practice community including Soul of Yoga on the 101 corridor. Doctoral-level research projects employ controlled AMI bioelectric readings, galvanic skin-response arrays, and EEG coherence mapping to investigate the physiological correlates of meditative states and subtle-energy transmission under peer-refereed publication standards.
