Facilitated attentional engagement to, and impaired disengagement from, negative stimuli are centrally involved in maladaptive psychological states, anxiety and mood disorders. Theoretical frameworks propose that yoga-based practices modulate attention to emotion via bottom-up and top-down processes which could shape attentional engagement and disengagement patterns over time, respectively, and...
Ideas of temporal distortion prevail in the discourse of flow research, where references are often made to "time flying". Nonetheless, little research has investigated how flow affects time perception in terms of both directionality and surrounding context, particularly within shared flow. Simultaneously, temporal distortion during music listening has been explored, but little is known about...
AbstractKetamine is a versatile N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA)-antagonist used in various clinical settings. Ketamine dose-dependently induces psychoactive effects: at low, anti-hyperalgesic doses, these are minor or not detectable, but at subanesthetic doses, they may include dissociative, psychotomimetic, and psychedelic events. At an anesthetic dose, ketamine leads to a state of “(full)...
In addition to the happy side effect of improving psilocybin’s odds of rescheduling under the proposed new CAMU standard (potentially increasing national psilocybin accessibility for opioid recovery), Senator Escamilla’s S.B. 200 could represent the beginning of a new era for the State of Utah in its battle against opioids. Despite S.B. 200’s failure to pass, the medical application of...
I argue that a minimal condition of free action, the capacity of an agent to act for a reason, is incompatible with conventional atomic constitutive panpsychism. If fundamental particulars are physical and mental simples, then fundamental particulars cannot possess complex mental representations, including representing an action as for a reason. Options for the panpsychist include Leibnizian...
Buddhist ethical teachings, far from being relics of an ancient past, offer a robust and profoundly relevant framework for addressing the multifaceted crises of the modern era. In a world characterized by digital saturation, geopolitical conflict, pervasive anxiety, and societal fragmentation, the core tenets of Buddhism provide not merely philosophical solace but practical tools for individual...
Emerging psychedelic research highlights the therapeutic potential and broader positive psychological transformation of psychedelic-assisted therapy. While naturalistic studies support these outcomes, gaps remain in understanding the specific nature of perceived benefits and in the availability of validated instruments to assess them. This study aimed to develop and validate the Perceived...
Insomnia is a prevalent sleep disorder characterised by difficulty initiating or maintaining sleep, which significantly impacts both physical and mental health. Pharmacological treatments, while effective, pose risks of side effects and dependency. Meditation, a mind-body practice with ancient roots, has emerged as a promising, non-pharmacological intervention for managing insomnia.This review...
Rather than a passive reflection of nociception, pain is shaped by the interplay between one's experiences, current cognitive-affective states, and expectations. The placebo response, a paradoxical yet reliable phenomenon, is postulated to reduce pain by engaging mechanisms shared with active therapies. It has been assumed that mindfulness meditation, practiced by sustaining nonjudgmental...
