Sleep paralysis (SP) is a paralytic episode that occurs during sleep–wake transitions and is characterized by an inability to move or speak while conscious. Although SP is reported globally across diverse populations, its prevalence and associated factors remain under-researched. This study investigated the prevalence and risk factors of SP among tertiary students. A cross-sectional survey was...

This dissertation investigates the role of Leiblichkeit (“bodiliness”) in the theology of Karl Rahner (1904–1984), arguing that it constitutes a foundational hermeneutical category across the major domains of his thought. Although existing scholarship has recognized Rahner’s emphasis on the concrete and historical character of human existence, it has not adequately examined bodiliness as a...

Abstract This paper analyzes the somatosensory and cognitive mechanisms through which a solo Bharatanāṭyam dancer establishes relational presence across an empty stage. Bridging classical Indian Knowledge Systems (IKS) with European movement phenomenology and 4E cognitive science (embodied, embedded, extended and enactive), this inquiry examines the aesthetic principle of manomukura (the...

"Is an LLM conscious?" is a clear and consequential question. This article addresses it while leaving the yes-or-no truth value open. It first reconstructs the familiar reasons for judging consciousness and non-consciousness. Both weaken on LLMs: human-like reports arrive without the ordinary biological and developmental background, while missing LLM features support negative conclusions...

Abstract Can artificial intelligence become the equal of a human being, now or in the near future? This practical question can be answered only once we make precise what the equality in question is an equality in. This paper construes it as equality of standing, and decomposes it, following the narrative from which the question arises — that a human being is an individual, a mental entity, and...

This hypothesis and perspective article proposes that uninterrupted daily low-dose psilocybin may constitute a pharmacologically distinct receptor-adaptation paradigm. Repeated 5-HT2A agonist pulses could progressively produce functional desensitization, internalization, and/or down-regulation; the fading of acute subjective effects may therefore mark the development of an adaptive state rather...

The emergence of increasingly capable artificial intelligence has transformed the philosophical question of human identity. Machines can now perform cognitive and creative tasks that were once widely regarded as uniquely human, including language generation, image creation, problem-solving, translation, programming, and complex decision support. These developments have generated uncertainty...

The experiencing subject plays a central role in ordinary conceptions of consciousness, yet it has received comparatively little attention as an explicit target of scientific theorizing. This is surprising because subjectivity, persistence across changing experiences, and the apparent individuality of conscious systems all seem closely related to the notion of an experiencing subject. The...

Psychedelic therapies have shown considerable promise in clinical trials, but their effects depend heavily on context—set, setting, therapeutic relationship, and integration—in ways that sit uneasily with health care systems built to finance discrete drugs and billable services. This white paper examines the institutional pathway through which psychedelic therapies may reach patients, from...

This paper takes as its starting point a recurring feature of Qur’anic vocabulary: verses that consistentlyassociate the faculties of reasoning (‘aql) and understanding with the heart (qalb), and verses that as-sociate genuine, efficacious hearing (sam‘) with consciousness or wakefulness (wa‘y), often placingthe two faculties in relations of equivalence, exchange, or causal dependence rather...

The state-transition Perturbational Complexity Index (PCIst; Comolatti et al., 2019, Brain Stimulation) is the most practical validated measure of consciousness-related brain complexity, discriminating wakefulness from sleep, anesthesia and disorders of consciousness from the complexity of TMS-evoked responses. Its pipeline, however, performs three data-dependent selections — the SVD basis is...

This paper proposes a novel framework for assessing the value of Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems, grounded in theories of consciousness. Traditional AI value assessment methods often rely on utilitarian or deontological approaches, which can be insufficient in capturing the nuanced ethical considerations surrounding advanced AI. This framework, termed the "AI Value Assessment Framework...

Abstract: This study presents a comparative analysis of the philosophical symbolism and aesthetic consciousness of Nataraja in Gopal Krishna Bharti’s Carnatic composition Natanam Adinar and Rabindranath Tagore’s Nrityero Tale Tale. Rooted in the Tamil Shaiva bhakti tradition and the Chidambara Rahasya, Bharti portrays Shiva’s Ananda Tandava and Panchakritya as dynamic manifestations of divine...

A foundational problem in physics remains unresolved: the role of the conscious observer in quantum measurement. This paper develops a theoretical framework, the Silence Paradigm, that generates testable predictions bearing on that problem. It treats the observer's state of consciousness as a controlled experimental variable rather than as a philosophical assumption, and asks whether the...

This paper investigates the potential for mapping human consciousness states through multi-scale time series prediction. The core idea is to analyze the inherent structure within time series data, specifically focusing on the relationships between different temporal scales, and establish a predictive model that correlates with subjective reports or physiological measures of consciousness. We...
