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...

The Recursive Differentiation Hypothesis (RDH) proposes that capacities bundled in biological organisms—access control, intelligence, self-modeling, and agency—can be functionally differentiated by cumulative culture and artificial intelligence, then recombined in new architectures. Differentiation is recursive because externalized cognitive products become inherited structure for later systems...

Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a progressive disease requiring lifelong hemodialysis. Patients undergoing hemodialysis frequently experience psychological stress due to long-term treatment, dependence on dialysis machines, lifestyle changes, and physical and emotional limitations. Unmanaged stress may reduce quality of life and treatment adherence. Meditation support has been...
