ABSTRACT Serotonergic psychedelics induce altered states of consciousness characterised by profound changes in emotional experience. Although psychedelics modulate autonomic arousal, sympathetic engagement during their affective effects remains poorly characterised. We recorded cardiac, electrodermal, and respiratory activity in 19 participants following inhalation of 20 or 40 mg of freebase...
The Faradarmani Consciousness Field is non-physical in nature. Although it cannot be quantitatively measured, its effects can be observed and examined through well-designed experiments. In this study, changes in key brain metabolites were investigated in a population of trained individuals known as Faradarmangars. In a previous study using fMRI, it was shown that certain regions of the brain...
This study investigates the effects of the Faradarmani Consciousness Field on metabolite changes, with a focus on potential alterations in energy metabolism. A previous study using fMRI revealed that certain brain regions of trained individuals, referred to as Faradarmangars, become activated or deactivated during the task state or under the influence of this Consciousness Field. Proton...
Based on Taheri’s theory introduced in the 1980s, Consciousness is defined as the fundamental element of the universe from which information, matter, and energy spring forth. In this perspective, there are various T-Consciousness Fields (TCFs) with non-physical entities that their influence can be recorded through laboratory experiments. In the current study, the effect of one type of these...
The systemic pathology following aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), including loss of consciousness, neurogenic stunned myocardium, cardiac arrhythmias, pulmonary edema, gastrointestinal dysmotility, and prolonged circadian and emotional sequelae, is conventionally attributed to a sympathetic catecholamine surge from hypothalamic irritation. This explanation, while partially valid, does...
This article examines the relationship between digital consciousness, embodiment and power in Richard K. Morgan’s Altered Carbon within the framework of postcyberpunk literature. Drawing upon N. Katherine Hayles’ posthumanism, Michel Foucault’s biopolitics and biopower, and theories of late capitalism by Frederic Jameson and David Harvey, and Jean Baudrillard’s simulacra, this study argues that...
Background: 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA), or "Ecstasy," is a semi-synthetic stimulant and hallucinogen widely used recreationally. While known for producing euphoria, it is associated with severe medical complications including serotonin syndrome, rhabdomyolysis, and multi-organ failure. Although MDMA is known to cause various vascular and muscular lesions, deep venous thrombosis...

Much of the interoception literature assumes that people can accurately detect their heart rate, stomach contractility, muscle tension, and other biological cues. This is not true. Instead, interoception is an active integrative psychological process where the feeling of one's internal state emerges from physiological signals, contextual cues, and the social and cultural experiences of living...
