We demonstrate that all enterprises of embodied cognition, ranging from the ‘simply’ cognitive to the conscious, and from the individual to the mechanical, institutional, and composite, are susceptible to induced patterns of hallucination, panic, and exhaustion on challenging landscapes of fog, friction, and deadly adversarial intent. We further argue, in consonance with C.S. Gray, that dreams...

Large scale language models exhibit extraordinary generative performance across modalities, yet most remain architecturally monolithic: a single model performing forward pass inference. In contrast, human cognition emerges from dynamic interactions among large-scale neural networks, notably the Default Mode Network (DMN), Salience Network (SN), and Central Executive Network (CEN). We present a...

Abstract Although the number of research on exploring the brain neural mechanisms has been increasing dramatically, the dream-related aspects - especially dream emotion – are not yet well understood. This status is exacerbated by the lack of sufficient EEG dream data with emotion labels. To accelerate research on decoding the neural mechanisms of dream emotions, we released the Dream Emotion...

Previous studies on the neural correlates of dreaming using high-density EEG (hdEEG) and the serial awakening paradigm have identified posterior brain regions related to dreaming, with maximal activity over occipital areas. Based on these results, we have hypothesized that neural activity during dreaming is mainly driven by sensory experiences (e.g., vision, audition), which predominate our...

Are state-of-the-art large language models conscious, or capable of anything like consciousness? We introduce ConsciousnessBench: the first systematic benchmark designed to empirically evaluate consciousness-relevant traits in frontier language models, grounded in 5 leading scientific theories. We assess 8 advanced models via 840 self-report responses, finding not only statistically robust...

Investigating the Potential for Synchronizing Lucid Dreams in a Group Using Meme and Tag-Meme Theory Within the Framework of the Banchenko Algorithm: An Analysis of Shared Elements and Objects
Remington Mallett preprint
During lucid moments of a dream, the sleeper is aware of the dream as it is occurring, and as a result can often perform predetermined actions within the dream. This provides a unique opportunity for dream research, as lucid dreamers can send real-time signals from sleep to the external world. Historically, such sleep-to-wake communication from a lucid dream is executed via left-right eye...

Lucid dreaming (LD) is the phenomenon during which dreamers are aware they are dreaming and may be able to influence dream content. Dream manipulation, or dream control, plays a critical role in the applications of LD across both clinical and non-clinical domains and may be a key determinant of therapeutic success. However, not all lucid dreamers are able to effectively influence their dreams,...

Dream experiences during sleep provide an excellent opportunity to investigate the neural basis of consciousness. Previous studies have examined the neural correlates of dreaming using electroencephalography (EEG), focusing on spectral power in specific frequency bands. However, findings have been inconsistent, particularly regarding the spatiotemporal characteristics of these correlates,...
In this chapter, we present the problem of dream reports in philosophy and empirical research, examine how the variability of methods and measures influences research results, and suggest that research on the phenomenological features of dreaming could benefit from insights from first-person methods in consciousness research. We consider two interview-based methods developed for acquiring...
