Introdução: O estresse crônico é um gatilho para doenças crônicas e transtornos mentais. Na Medicina do Estilo de Vida (MEV), práticas mente-corpo (mindfulness, yoga, meditação) são intervenções terapêuticas validadas com mecanismos neurobiológicos claros. Objetivos: Sintetizar as evidências de alto nível sobre a eficácia dessas práticas na redução do estresse e ansiedade em adultos, focando...
A fundamental issue in the philosophy of mind, particularly within dualist theories, is the distinction between the mind and body as separate ‘substances.’ The challenge lies in elucidating how an immaterial or unphysical mind can causally interact with a physical body or its brain states, considering that they seemingly belong to fundamentally different ontological categories. Questions...
The contemporary quest to understand the essential nature of mind and consciousness matches a pervasive fascination with discovering the most fundamental energy that infuses all. This quest is not new, but the same impulse also influenced methodical observers in ancient times. The ancient scientists of consciousness and energetics and contemporary physicists differ little in their passion to...
The article analyses the approach of Ukrainian and Polish philosopher, psychologist, educator, and doctor Stepan Baley to solving the mind-body problem. Stefan Baley’s contribution to solving the mind-body problem was analysed from the perspective of the philosophical tradition in which he was formed under the direct influence of Kazimierz Twardowski and the indirect impact of Franz Brentano,...
ABSTRACT Psychedelics offer an intriguing novel method for changing minds, supposedly by destabilizing the neurobiology of the belief system. The resulting power to change minds raises ethical and epistemic concerns. This article examines the epistemic status of psychedelic experiences and suggests a skeptical attitude towards beliefs formed under their influence, a position that stands in...
This paper examines the relation between embodiment and sociality within the enactive approach, highlighting the continuity between biological autonomy and social normativity. The central claim is that, while enactivism offers the conceptual resources to address the complexity of social cognition, doing so requires the integration of dialectical tools into the theory of the embodied mind. For...
Abstract This paper explores the application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in predicting emotions derived from dreams, a challenging task due to the complex and subjective nature of dreams. Emotions such as happiness, sadness, fear, and anger are often embedded in dream narratives, and predicting these emotional states can offer insights into the subconscious mind [1]. We compare four machine...
This manuscript provides a naturalistic foundation for a Philosophy of Enactive Inference and, on this basis, argues for a multi-perspectival monism. Starting from the thesis that the spatiotemporal dynamics of brain activity function as a "common currency" for neuronal and mental processes, the paper develops a multi-layered synthesis of the theories of Northoff, Buonomano, Friston, and...

Objective. This study analyzed the relationship between mindfulness, cognitive reappraisal, expressive suppression, and test anxiety in university students. The first hypothesis proposed that cognitive reappraisal, expressive suppression, and mindfulness would be negatively associated with test anxiety and its dimensions. The second hypothesis stated that mindfulness would mediate the...
In a suburb of Vancouver, Canada, a nondescript three-story building sits alongside a strip of parking lots. From the outside, it looks like an ordinary commercial office space. But inside is something more extraordinary: rows of shelves stacked with plastic tubs full of magic mushrooms—mushrooms that contain the hallucinogenic chemical psilocybin. In a year, enough psychedelic mushrooms can be...
