Spirituality, often expressed through practices such as prayer and meditation, is increasingly being studied within neuroscience as a measurable cognitive and affective process. These practices are associated with meaning-making, emotional regulation, and perceived social connection. At the same time, loneliness has been linked to alterations in large-scale brain networks involved in...

Background Psychedelic medicine is approaching regulatory approval, and suggestion alone can now occasion mystical-type experiences in the laboratory. Yet the field still names altered states after their triggers, and nobody can yet show whether the state itself, rather than its context, is what heals. Objective This review reads the evidence presented at the 2026 Annual Conference of the...

How does the brain transform a chaotic stream of sensory signals into a stable, shared experience of reality? This theoretical paper proposes that the brain does not passively receive the world, but actively projects it – it continuously generates predictions about sensory inputs and updates its internal model when predictions fail, a process formally described by the free energy principle and...

Both quantum mechanics and cognitive neuroscience challenge the classical view of a passively perceived reality. Instead, they suggest that reality arises through a process of selection and stabilization from a field of possibilities. This article proposes that this “reality stabilization” framework can unify our understanding of psychosis and post-psychotic depression—two conditions that are...

Mental disorders are among the leading causes of non-fatal health loss worldwide and are associated with significant individual, social, and economic burdens. On the other hand, neuropathic pain affects approximately 7-8% of the world's adult population and is a leading reason for medical consultations. A bidirectional relationship between depression and pain has been widely documented....

Abstract This paper sets out a framework, not a proof. It proposes that the usual order of explanation between consciousness and predictive processing may be reversed: that phenomenal consciousness — bare, non-linguistic awareness — precedes language, and that the specifically overwriting, anticipatory mode of prediction that colors adult experience is, in large part, a consequence of language...
