There are none. Non-materialist sciences are horribly underdeveloped. We have two options for exploring solutions to problems we may suspect non-materialist answers to:

1) Try materialism over and over again anyway hoping it will eventually solve the problem.

2) Develop a new discipline starting with the axioms of the problem at hand.

Number 1 has been so successful and provided so much work for scientists that any problem it doesn't work for mostly gets ignored.

I'm not saying materialism is necessarily wrong or bad BTW, just that it has a limit. It starts and ends at the perimeter of shared *human* experience.
