Abstract MK-801, a phencyclidine (PCP) derivative also known as dizocilpine, is a potent noncompetitive antagonist of the N-Methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAr). The NMDAr plays a critical role in mediating excitatory synaptic transmission in the central nervous system (CNS) and is important in regulating synaptic plasticity, learning, and memory. MK-801 is known to induce schizophrenia-like...

Abstract (English) Within the Acta Universi (AU) hypothesis, anomalous precursors of significant events—Global Consciousness Project (GCP) 2.0 RNG anomalies, the presentiment effect, and pre-seismic behavioural changes in animals—are interpreted as spontaneous fluctuations of the fundamental theta-entropy field SΘS_\ThetaSΘ. A linearized field equation with a source term associated with a...

This article introduces the concept of the digital kōan, an AI-mediated contemplative prompt that functions as a catalyst for self-inquiry rather than a source of spiritual knowledge. Drawing on Buddhist psychology, cognitive science, and contemplative phenomenology, it examines how dialogue with conversational artificial intelligence can reveal the constructed nature of identity and illuminate...

The relationship between analytical psychology and the symbolic system of the Tarot has attracted considerable interest among psychologists, historians of religion, cultural theorists, and practitioners of depth psychology. Although Carl Gustav Jung did not develop a systematic psychological theory of Tarot and did not establish a canonical correspondence between the Major Arcana and his...

This paper develops Experiential Localization (EL) as a comparative organizational framework for probabilistic inference concerning animal consciousness. The central problem is that experiential accessibility cannot be directly observed across species, while behavioural and biological evidence can nevertheless alter confidence among competing interpretations. The framework distinguishes...

Abstract (English) This paper develops a unified ontological theory of consciousness within the Acta Universi (AU) hypothesis. Consciousness is defined as the generation of coherent thought-forms that create irreversible entropic records in the universal archive . The definition does not require a nervous system and applies to informational processes at all levels of organisation of matter. An...

The Epiphenomenal Mind is both a deflationary attack on the powers of the human mind and a defence of human subjectivity. It is deflationary because in the thesis I argue that consciousness is an epiphenomenal consequence of events in the brain. It is a defence of human subjectivity because I argue that the mind is sui generis real, irreducible, and largely an endogenous product (i.e. not...

Abstract Background This study analyzed the content and composition of phenolic compounds, flavonoids, coumarins, pigments, and neuroactive secondary metabolites in fly agaric ( Amanita muscaria ) fruiting bodies collected in August and September 2022 and 2023 from two sites: under pine trees and under birch trees in the Wielkopolska region. A total of 15 phenolic compounds, as well as groups...
