Here is a simple argument about consciousness and self-evidencing: if selfevidencing provides the fundamental explanation of what the brain does, and if brain activity gives rise to consciousness, then self-evidencing also explains how consciousness arises.However, this argument does not imply that self-evidencing immediately explains consciousness.Self-evidencing happens in all self-organizing...

Abstract To reduce maladaptive behaviors, cognitive-behavioral and mindfulness-based interventions can be engaged during wakefulness. Such strategies may also be engaged during sleep, providing a unique and powerful pathway to positive behavioral change. Here we describe an initial scientific investigation of Dream Yoga, a type of contemplative practice that includes a set of prescribed tasks...

Awareness during general anesthesia—the postoperative recall of sensory experiences while under anesthesia—remains among medicine’s most haunting yet underexplored phenomena. Affecting 1 to 2 in every 1,000 patients, anesthesia awareness challenges assumptions of total unconsciousness and highlights the gap between scientific understanding and lived experience. Even with proper anesthetic...

This paper presents the Cubic Model of Intelligence — a phenomenological and cognitive approach to understanding seven interrelated aspects of the mind: logic,emotion, intuition, memory, ethics, social context, and temporal foresight. The model is derived from observation of internal thinking processes and proposes to view these aspects not as separate functions but as facets of a unified...

According to the Church–Turing thesis, the limit of what is computable is bounded by Turing machines. Following from this, given that general computable functions formally describe the notion of recursive mechanisms, it is sometimes argued that every organismic process that specifies consistent cognitive responses should be both limited to Turing machine capabilities and amenable to...

The Problem of Perspectival Ownership: A Philosophical Framework for Conscious Individuality Consciousness research has focused predominantly on the "Hard Problem" of subjective experience, yet a more foundational issue persists: the Problem of Perspectival Ownership. Why does a given stream of experience belong to this particular first-person perspective (“mine”) and not another? This paper...

Sleep has traditionally been conceptualized as a state of cognitive disconnection, yet emerging evidence indicates that decision-making capacities persist across sleep stages. Here, we elucidate the computational mechanisms underlying real-time lexical decision-making during polysomnographically-verified sleep, using facial electromyography and hierarchical drift diffusion modeling in both...
