Elevated stress and anxiety among medical students are compounded by eco-anxiety driven by global climate and ecological crises. An analysis of the Medita-Action extension project at Centro Universitário de Mineiros – Campus Trindade shows that mindfulness-based interventions promote emotional self-regulation, reduce psychological distress, and strengthen connection with nature, transforming environmental distress into motivation for socio-environmental care. The theoretical framework links neuroplasticity evidence with Planetary Health principles. Integrating contemplative practices into medical curricula is a viable and necessary strategy for training resilient professionals aware of 21st-century global challenges.
This paper presents an experimental protocol and theoretical framework for the Century Experiment, which aims to empirically validate the Holographic Architecture of Reality Construction (AHCR 2.0), a model proposing consciousness as a measurable physical-informational variable in constructing observable reality. The study investigates expanded states of consciousness induced by ayahuasca and N,N-dimethyltryptamine (DMT) compared to a control group, using electroencephalographic analysis of gamma oscillations (30–100 Hz).
A new field called Symbiotic Biomimetic Computing (CSB) is proposed, grounded in the Holographic Architecture of Reality Construction 2.0 (AHCR 2.0). CSB mimics functional brain processes to create bidirectional biological-computer interfaces, moving beyond current hardware-centered brain-computer interfaces. A core equation quantifies a biological system's cognitive-symbolic state in real time. A low-cost ecosystem (NeuroMuse™) implements CSB for $600, versus $30,000–$50,000 for invasive alternatives. An experimental validation using vaporized DMT showed a +47% increase in gamma power (30–100 Hz), a peak index of 1.67, neural coherence of 0.65, and 100% IoT match rate over three symbolic collapse events with 820 ms average latency. Results confirm four falsifiable predictions of AHCR 2.0, positioning CSB as a rigorous, accessible approach to studying consciousness and developing next-generation BCIs.
