Can mindfulness in virtual reality modify food cravings?
PsyArXiv June 11, 2026 Thaeny Regina Ribeiro Rodrigues, Diego Frank Marques Cavalcante, Caio Maximino preprint
Mechanistic approaches in behavioral neuroscience often overlook the situated, embodied, and meaning‑generating dimensions of animal behavior. This paper builds a theoretical bridge between enactivism and biosemiotics – two frameworks that place sense‑making at the core of life – and grounds the synthesis in an empirical case: the alarm reaction of zebrafish (Danio rerio). The conspecific alarm...

Mathematical Relationships Between Brains and Consciousness
PsyArXiv June 10, 2026 Theo Tobel, Aidan Cone, Emily Choquette et al. preprint
Floatation-REST (Reduced Environmental Stimulation Therapy) systematically alters sensory and bodily input by combining neutral buoyancy, thermal and proprioceptive neutrality, attenuation of exteroceptive stimulation, and enhancement of cardiorespiratory signaling to the brain. Here we examined whether this non-pharmacological sensory perturbation induces altered states of consciousness and...

Beyond the Present Moment: Why Mindfulness Research Needs a Historical Perspective
PsyArXiv May 29, 2026 Zefan Zheng, Robert Chis-Ciure, Peter Thestrup Waade et al. 1 citation preprint
Consciousness science is fragmented, and empirical investigations are confined within each theory of consciousness’ (TOC) framework. Proliferating ToCs accumulate anomalies without progress, operating orthogonally. The principle of recurrency – functional and architectural – offers a unifying, mechanistic scaffold for consciousness to arise. We show that all theories tacitly invoke feedback...

Processes of embodied sense-making and integration in challenging experiences of advanced meditation – A reflexive thematic analysis of destabilization, rigidification, and social negotiation
PsyArXiv May 27, 2026 Andrew Robert Gallimore, Niffe Hermansson, Donald D Hoffman preprint
Encounters with apparently autonomous and intelligent non-human entities are a striking and recurrent feature of high-dose N,N-dimethyltryptamine (DMT) experi-ences. Such encounters are typically interpreted as complex hallucinations derived from internally generated brain activity, although many features of the DMT state remain a challenge to explain within the standard neuroscientific...

Bodily Awareness in Advanced Meditation: A Three-Level Model of Interoceptive, Schematic, and Pacificatory Changes
PsyArXiv May 24, 2026 Naja Bralic, Elena Bragagnolo, Mikael Palner preprint
Background and objective: Anxiety disorders are among the most prevalent psychiatric disorders worldwide and affect all age groups. Current pharmacological treatments, such as selective serotonergic reuptake inhibitors (SSRI’s) and benzodiazepines, have limitations in terms of adverse effects and efficacy, which highlights the need for alternative therapies. Serotonergic psychedelics have...
