Understanding human consciousness and emotion requires an interdisciplinary approach that can involve topics from neuroscience, physiology, and even quantum biology. This article proposes an integrative theory in which emotion is defined broadly as a concept that can capture different phenomena arising from brain activity, from instinctual affective responses to higher cognitive feelings, and...
This paper develops a comparative metaphysical model in which individual minds are treated as finite concretions of a unified cosmic consciousness. The analysis connects Neoplatonic emanation, the Nous and the World Soul with Spinoza's substance, attributes, modes, and conatus. It also discusses conceptual parallels with modern theoretical physics, especially string theory, quantum...
Abstract Analytical psychology and modern physics have opened windows to describe aspects (or even one single substance) of reality. The notions of archetypes and the collective unconscious suggest that dreams carry symbolic messages from the area of psychic potential, while quantum neuroscience posits that consciousness and brain activity may be influenced by quantum‐level phenomena beyond...
We present a theoretical model to explain how tubulin dimers in neuronal microtubules might achieve collective quantum coherence, resulting in wavefunction collapses that manifest as avalanches within a self-organized criticality (SOC) framework. Using the Orchestrated Objective Reduction (Orch-OR) theory as inspiration, we propose that microtubule subunits (tubulins) become transiently...
Neuroentropy (understood as the complexity or diversity of brain activity) has emerged as a possible quantitative marker of consciousness. This meta-analytic review synthesizes evidence from EEG, MEG, fMRI, intracranial recordings, and perturbation-based approaches (e.g., Perturbational Complexity Index) across 2013–2023. Findings show higher entropy during wakefulness, REM sleep, and...
