Fronto-occipital theta coupling is treated as a single quantity. We show it decomposes into two timescales with opposite behavior. At the slow timescale (30-s theta power envelope), high spatial coverage correlates with decoupling (rho = -0.252, p = 0.015, N = 93). At the fast timescale (instantaneous phase), the correlation is positive (rho = +0.100, p = 0.34). Across four tasks and two...

Psychiatric disorders remain a major global health challenge, yet research does not adequately incorporate first-person lived experience. A central component of lived experience is the sense of self, which is often profoundly altered in psychiatric conditions and can serve as a prognostic phenomenological marker, particularly in psychosis. In psychiatry, the most minimal form of self, i.e., the...
