Both consciousness and quantum phenomenon are subjective and indetermi-nistic. In this paper, we propose consciousness is a quantum phenomenon. A quantum theory of consciousness (QTOC) is presented based on a new interpretation of quantum physics. We show that this QTOC can address the mind and body problem, the hard problem of consciousness. It also provides a physics foundation and...

Hypnosis has been shown to be of clinical utility; however, its underlying neural mechanisms remain unclear. This study aims to investigate altered brain dynamics during the non-ordinary state of consciousness induced by hypnosis.

Through a “census” of most types and constitutes of mental phenomena and...

As we know, the publication of the translation of W. James’ “The Varieties of Religious Experience” in 1910 gave rise to a well-known discussion that took place in the pages of the journal “Questions of Philosophy and Psychology”. However, the fact that James’s concept has been critically comprehended in the works of some academic theologians, such as M. Tareev, P. Minin, A. Tuberovsky, still...

Nearly all psychiatric diseases involve alterations in subjective, lived experience. The scientific study of the biological basis of mental illness has generally focused on objective measures and observable behaviors, limiting the potential for our understanding of brain mechanisms of disease states and possible treatments. However, applying methods designed principally to interpret objective...

Alterations of the sense of self induced by meditation include an increased sense of boundarylessness. In this study, we investigated behavioural and functional magnetic resonance imaging correlates of trait self-boundarylessness during resting state and the performance of two experimental tasks. We found that boundarylessness correlated with greater self-endorsement of words related to...

Respondents were predominantly from western countries, but reported a connection to an eclectic range of religious and spiritual traditions,...
