Prehistoric psychotropic consumption in Andean Chilean mummies

Nature Precedings December 3, 2007 Juan Pablo Ogalde, Bernardo Arriaza, Elia C. Soto 4 citations

Abstract Hallucinogenic plants are often regarded as the main source of psychoactive drugs in antiquity to reach deep altered states of consciousness^1,2^. Many researchers believe this was particularly true during the Tiwanaku empire expansion, circa (500-1000 A.D.), along the Atacama Desert of Chile. Highly decorated snuffing tablets and tubes are often found as grave goods during this...

Gradations of awareness in a modified sequence learning task.

Consciousness and Cognition December 2007 Elisabeth Norman, Mark C Price, Simon C Duff et al.

We argue performance in the serial reaction time (SRT) task is associated with gradations of awareness that provide examples of fringe consciousness [Mangan, B. (1993b). Taking phenomenology seriously: the "fringe" and its implications for cognitive research. Consciousness and Cognition, 2, 89-108, Mangan, B. (2003). The conscious "fringe": Bringing William James up to date. In B. J. Baars, W....

C. G. Jung and numinous experience: Between the known and the unknown

European Journal of Psychotherapy & Counselling December 1, 2007 Leon Schlamm 6 citations

By exploring the shades of meaning of the ‘known’ and the ‘unknown’ in Jung's writings and the way they frame his engagement with numinous experience, this paper will demonstrate that Jung's never fully realisable individuation process, whose goal is the ego's acquaintance with the infinite unknowable Self, is suspended between the known and the unknown. The failure to individuate can be...

On Exploration of Subjectivity in Advaita Vedanta

International Workshop on Applied Reconfigurable Computing December 1, 2007 A. Balslev

Given that consciousness studies is in the forefront today and drawing the attention of contemporary philosophers, scientists and theologians alike, it is fruitful to recall that attempts to explore the theme of subjectivity know of a long history in the Upanisadic tradition. The intense preoccupation with the question of self (atman) has earned the Upanisadic tradition the designation of...

[The neurodynamic core of consciousness and neural Darwinism].

Revista de neurologia November 1, 2007 A Ibáñez

Introduction: In the last decades, the scientific study of consciousness in the scope of the cognitive neurosciences can be considered one of the greatest challenges of contemporary science. The Gerald Edelman theory of consciousness is one of the most promising and controversial perspectives. This theory stands out by its approach to topics usually rejected by other neurophysiologic theories...

Electrocortical (EEG) correlates of music and states of consciousness

Neuropsychological Trends November 1, 2007 Lazar Skaric, Milorad Tomasevic, Dejan Rakovic et al.

The study of the perception of music is a paramount example of multidisciplinary research. In spite of a lot of theoretical and experimental efforts to understand musical processing, attempts to localize musical abilities in particular brain regions were largely unsuccessful, save for the difference between musicians and non musicians, especially in hemispheric specialization and in EEG...

Imaginary companions and young children's responses to ambiguous auditory stimuli: implications for typical and atypical development.

Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry November 1, 2007 Charles Fernyhough, Kirsten Bland, Elizabeth Meins et al.

Previous research has reported a link between imaginary companions (ICs) in middle childhood and the perception of verbal material in ambiguous auditory stimuli. These findings have been interpreted in terms of commonalities in the cognitive processes underlying children's engagement with ICs and adults' reporting of imaginary verbal experiences such as auditory verbal hallucinations. The aim...

Causal networks in simulated neural systems.

Cognitive Neurodynamics October 20, 2007 Anil K. Seth

Neurons engage in causal interactions with one another and with the surrounding body and environment. Neural systems can therefore be analyzed in terms of causal networks, without assumptions about information processing, neural coding, and the like. Here, we review a series of studies analyzing causal networks in simulated neural systems using a combination of Granger causality analysis and...

Cannabis-related psychosis: Presentation and effect of abstinence.

Indian Journal of Psychiatry October 2007 Vani Kulhalli, Mohan Isaac, Pratima Murthy

The correlation between cannabis and negative mental health outcomes has been unequivocally established. Nevertheless, there is still a great need to research different dimensions of cannabis-related disorders, among which the study of cannabis-related psychosis is very important. There is a dearth of research regarding phenomenology and effect of abstinence, particularly from India. This study...
