Psychedelic Therapy: Beyond Brain, Embracing Culture
October 4, 2023 Inês Hipólito, Sofia Tzima 2 citations preprint
This paper argues that cultural embodiment plays a pivotal factor in shaping psychological experiences, influencing both the development and treatment of mental health conditions. Traditional analytic philosophy of mind proposes that the efficacy of psychedelic-assisted therapy should be understood as a brain computational model update. Beyond the scientific understanding of neural activity, we...
Updating Our Theories of Perceiving: From Predictive Processing to Radical Enactivism
PsyArXiv May 3, 2023 Inês Hipólito 1 citation preprint
Radically enactive accounts of perceiving directly and diametrically oppose their representationalist rivals. This is true even of the most radical predictive processing theories of perception which embrace some enactivist assumptions yet retain some commitment to representationalism. Which framework should we prefer? This chapter seeks to make headway on this question by focusing on the...
Pattern breaking: a complex systems approach to psychedelic medicine
Neuroscience of Consciousness 2023 Inês Hipólito, Jonas Mago, Fernando E. Rosas et al. 60 citations
Abstract Recent research has demonstrated the potential of psychedelic therapy for mental health care. However, the psychological experience underlying its therapeutic effects remains poorly understood. This paper proposes a framework that suggests psychedelics act as destabilizers, both psychologically and neurophysiologically. Drawing on the ‘entropic brain’ hypothesis and the ‘RElaxed...
Enactive-Dynamic Social Cognition and Active Inference.
Frontiers in Psychology 2022 Inês Hipólito, Thomas Van Es 22 citations
This aim of this paper is two-fold: it critically analyses and rejects accounts blending active inference as theory of mind and enactivism; and it advances an enactivist-dynamic understanding of social cognition that is compatible with active inference. While some social cognition theories seemingly take an enactive perspective on social cognition, they explain it as the attribution of mental...
Mind-life continuity: A qualitative study of conscious experience.
Progress in Biophysics and Molecular Biology December 1, 2017 Inês Hipólito, Jorge Martins
There are two fundamental models to understanding the phenomenon of natural life. One is the computational model, which is based on the symbolic thinking paradigm. The other is the biological organism model. The common difficulty attributed to these paradigms is that their reductive tools allow the phenomenological aspects of experience to remain hidden behind yes/no responses (behavioral...
The phenomenology of the intersubjective impairment.
Journal of Evaluation in Clinical Practice August 1, 2016 Inês Hipólito 6 citations
Several studies suggest that the disorders of the self include a disturbance of the most elementary component of self - the minimal self. Characterizing these disorders and understanding the mechanisms involved remain a challenge to medical epistemology and health care professionals. In the present work, I bring together concepts of different fields, such as neuroscience, epistemology and...
