Colour, Consciousness, and Colour Consciousness

Consciousness January 23, 2003 Brian P. McLaughlin

Abstract For those of us blessed with sight, colours have been manifest in the scenes before our eyes ever since such scenes first came into focus. Familiarity has not bred understanding, however. The nature of these old acquaintances remains a matter of dispute. The dispute is intimately tied to ‘the hard problem’ of visual consciousness-the problem of determining the nature of visual...

Schizophrenia, consciousness, and the self.

Schizophrenia Bulletin 2003 Louis Sass, Josef Parnas

In recent years, there has been much focus on the apparent heterogeneity of schizophrenic symptoms. By contrast, this article proposes a unifying account emphasizing basic abnormalities of consciousness that underlie and also antecede a disparate assortment of signs and symptoms. Schizophrenia, we argue, is fundamentally a self-disorder or ipseity disturbance (ipse is Latin for "self" or...

Auditory hallucinations, source monitoring, and the belief that "voices" are real.

Schizophrenia Bulletin 2003 Michael Garrett, Raul Silva

The term source monitoring refers to a variety of cognitive processes individuals use to determine whether an experience originated within the self or came from an external source.

36. Praca z oddechem w psychoterapii pacjentów onkologicznych

Reports of Practical Oncology & Radiotherapy 2003 Alicja Heyda

Emocje i sposoby oddychania są wzajemnie współzależne – określone emocje powodują określony sposób oddychania. Z drugiej strony sposób oddychania może zmieniać emocje lub postrzeganie własnych doznań, takich jak ból lub lęk. Techniki pracy z oddechem były stosowane już od tysiącleci w terapii i praktyce duchowej. Służyły między innymi do uspokajania umysłu, leczenia oraz podtrzymywania zdrowia...
