Le penthos — pratique contemplative de contrition profonde attestée dans la tradition patristique grecque des IVe-VIIe siècles — a traditionnellement été étudié comme phénomène purement théologique ou, alternativement, comme pathologie émotionnelle. Cet article propose une intégration épistémologiquement rigoureuse du penthos avec les données contemporaines de neurosciences affectives. L'auteur...

The free-energy principle (FEP) provides a computational, physical and teleological theory for understanding biological organization as cognitive agent minimizing their entropy in relation to their environment. Is minimizing entropy the first principle driving all dynamics of cognition? Is it enough to account for organizational changes in an open-ended way? After a general presentation of the...

Since the dawn of time, humans have sought to understand the nature and meaning of their dreams. However, despite millennia of philosophical speculation and more than a century of scientific exploration, several questions regarding dreams remain pending.One question that constitutes the core problematic of this thesis relates to why there are such individual differences in the frequency of...

Several studies have shown that daytime geographic locations are more frequently incorporated into the dreams of the next two nights, but also after a 7 days delay. We analyzed the dream locations in 680 dream reports longer than 20 words recorded over a calendar year in a single geographer subject, and compared them with the exhaustive, concomitant daytime log of the 122 cities he visited...

Dream recall frequency (DRF) is the main indicator for evaluating dream. In home-setting, DRF can be established using two major methods: the retrospective estimation (RE) and the logbook estimation (LE). No research to date has compared DRF obtained with these two methods on the same period and using an online logbook that does not allow rereading of previous reports. We aim at investigating...
