Abstract The casebooks of English physician and astrologer Simon Forman (1552–1611) provide rich material with which to explore the role that dreams played in the construction of the self in the early modern period. Forman’s dream accounts were an important part of his self-invention as a divinely inspired astrological physician. They are also illustrations of how Forman’s sense of selfhood,...

Cognitivism, a framework strongly shaped by developments in computer and communication sciences, has dominated the study of cognition since the 1960s. From the 1990s onward, however, alternative frameworks have gained prominence. Among these, anti-cognitivism designates approaches that deliberately reject cognitivist assumptions, with some examples found in Radical Embodied Cognition, Radical...

This chapter explores the layered dialogue between Buddhism and psychoanalysis as two symbolic languages spoken by one mind. Rather than seeking integration or synthesis, it traces how each discourse illuminates different dimensions of psychic truth: psychoanalysis naming the structured, split, and desiring subject; Buddhism articulating emptiness, interdependence, and nondual awareness....

Abstract Working outwards from one dream report in the Threshold Worlds database, this chapter examines three aspects of permeability or ‘cognitive transit’ in dream experience, relating to perspective, planning, and precision. Reports of seeing oneself in the dreamed scene are common, and don’t require us to postulate an extra ‘self’. A plan formulated in the dream escapes, finding a life of...

Mind body practices like meditation and yoga, which are widely used to support mental health, involve paying attention to internal bodily sensations like the breath. During these practices, individuals often report "interoceptive lapses," moments when attention drifts away from the body. While lapses in attention to the external world have been widely studied, far less is known about...

Within the context of the development of an experiential neurocognitive semantic perspective, we investigate the processes of metensomatosis of the soul as an insect. We will conduct our reflections starting from the forms tavané, derived from the Latin tabanus, in the Francoprovençal varieties of Aosta Valley, the Francoprovençal developments of France and Roman Switzerland and the Occitan...

This paper examines the philosophical and ethical significance of “forgetting” in Dōgen’s thought. It argues that the deepest form of forgetting—“forgetting oneself”—is not a psychological loss but a transformative practice through which a self-centered mode of existence is relinquished, allowing access to a multi-dimensional world in which beings appear across different ontological and...

This paper sheds light on the interactive process in which religious practitioners work to achieve states that appear to contradict individual agency. Drawing on ethnographic studies of Buddhist meditation retreats and Torah study in a Haredi yeshiva, we track the delicate balance between ‘doing religion’ (active engagement) and ‘being done by religion" (experiencing religious forces as taking...

Temporal interference (TI) electrical stimulation is a novel neuromodulation method that can target deep brain structures to enhance the impact of behavioral techniques. We tested the feasibility of TI in targeting the ventral striatum (VS) in concert with an emotion regulation practice (breath-focused mindfulness meditation). As an assay of target engagement, we used electroencephalography...

Antecedentes: Las prácticas de meditación sostenidas o intensivas del budismo tibetano constituyen un sistema riguroso de entrenamiento mental y una sofisticada "psicología operativa". Si bien la evidencia empírica sugiere su capacidad para inducir transformaciones beneficiosas en procesos psicológicos y en el cerebro, no había sido sintetizada de manera integral y crítica. Objetivo: Analizar...
