Abstract John Locke’s theory of perception takes shape in a time of chaos: the orthodox account of this most basic tie between mind and world is crumbling. Among the ruins, new combatants vie for dominance against the old Aristotelian view, chief among them the Cartesians and the neo-Epicureans. The aim of this book is to provide a unified reading of Locke’s theory of perception, informed by...
Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research) September 2, 2026 preprint
Abstract Can artificial intelligence become the equal of a human being, now or in the near future? This practical question can be answered only once we make precise what the equality in question is an equality in. This paper construes it as equality of standing, and decomposes it, following the narrative from which the question arises — that a human being is an individual, a mental entity, and...

The emergence of increasingly capable artificial intelligence has transformed the philosophical question of human identity. Machines can now perform cognitive and creative tasks that were once widely regarded as uniquely human, including language generation, image creation, problem-solving, translation, programming, and complex decision support. These developments have generated uncertainty...
Brain Topography September 2, 2026 Shiva Khoshnoud, Federico Alvarez Igarzábal, Marc Wittmann
Flow, as defined by Mihalyi Csikszentmihalyi (1975), is a holistic experience in which individuals are fully immersed in an activity, resulting in a diminished sense of self and an altered perception of time. To investigate the global neural dynamics underlying flow, we employed EEG microstate analysis, which capture the spatial and temporal properties of dominant transient global brain states...
Journal for the Study of Spirituality September 2, 2026 Jing Liu-Helmersson, Helene Lindmark, Annette Andersson
This study attempts to use quantum physics to understand spirituality in Sámi traditional healing. Sámi are Indigenous people from Arctic Europe. Research methods include a theoretical model and an in-depth interview study with five healers from North Sweden (three have a Sámi background/blood). The theoretical model is based on two physics concepts: quantum entanglement and complex spacetime....

Yoga-based interventions are increasingly explored within mental health research and clinical practice, although questions remain regarding their mechanisms, effectiveness, and implementation within healthcare settings. This thesis examined yoga and mental health across the lifespan through a conceptual review, a systematic review and meta-analysis, and an empirical clinical evaluation. Chapter...
Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research) September 2, 2026 Moupiya Dutta preprint
Abstract This paper analyzes the somatosensory and cognitive mechanisms through which a solo Bharatanāṭyam dancer establishes relational presence across an empty stage. Bridging classical Indian Knowledge Systems (IKS) with European movement phenomenology and 4E cognitive science (embodied, embedded, extended and enactive), this inquiry examines the aesthetic principle of manomukura (the...
Pain Management Nursing September 1, 2026 Ai-Ping Feng, Hua Chen, Shen-Min Song et al.
PURPOSE Hemophilic arthropathy is a debilitating condition characterized by recurrent hemarthroses, leading to severe joint pain and eventual need for total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Postoperative pain management in this population is highly complex as the result of inherent bleeding risks, intense perioperative anxiety, and a frequently observed "pain-fear-immobility" cycle. The growing need...
Spiritus: A Journal of Christian Spirituality September 1, 2026 Peter M. Nguyen
Abstract:This essay interprets Edith Stein’s resistance to totalitarianism as a spiritually grounded way of life shaped by Eucharistic practice rather than as a purely philosophical critique. Inspired by Stein’s lectures on philosophical and theological anthropology, it develops a constructive account of Eucharistic spirituality that attends to contemplative scripture reading, prayer before the...

Mindful eating brings nonjudgmental, present-moment awareness to eating, fostering a deeper connection between mind and body.Rooted in Eastern traditions such as mitahara in the Śāṇḍilya Upanishad and the Bhagavad-Gita's sattvic, rajasic, and tamasic food categories, as well as modern mindfulness practices pioneered by Jon Kabat-Zinn, it emphasises full sensory engagement and honest recognition...
