The poetry of Mei-mei Berssenbrugge explores the correspondences between human perception and the rhythms of elements that make up the cosmos, stretching in scale from the shape of specific molecules that plants may use to communicate to the astrophysics of stars. My reading of Berssenbrugge’s poetry is situated at the lower end of this range of scales, focusing on how Berssenbrugge envisions...
Phenomenology and the Cognitive Sciences October 14, 2026 Jing He, Shaun Gallagher
Abstract Contemporary phenomenology and cognitive science have increasingly converged on the idea that social understanding is embodied, interactive, and enacted in real-time engagement. Interaction theory and enactivism have challenged cognitivist models of social cognition by emphasizing direct perception, affective attunement, and participatory sense-making. Yet while current interactive...

Awakening is reported across contemplative traditions yet remains poorly defined in science, where it is often conflated with transient states induced by meditation or psychedelics, obscuring its significance for theories of consciousness and cognitive architecture. We treat awakening as a functional construct capturing convergence across Hindu and Buddhist sources, phenomenological and...

Cosmological Influence on the Development of Human Consciousness explores how humanity’s observation and interpretation of the cosmos shaped thought, culture, religion, governance and the understanding of human existence across civilizations. Moving from the astronomical awareness of prehistoric communities to the cosmological traditions of Mesopotamia, Egypt, India, China, Mesoamerica, Greece...
Journal of Veterans Studies October 13, 2026 Natalie Danielle Baker, Zeno E. Franco
This paper reimagines veteran identity through an alchemical and posthuman lens, positioning the warrior’s return as a threshold condition, suspended between military and civilian worlds. Founded on more than a decade of community-based research with veteran peer mentors, we introduce generative AI as a daimonic analytic witness within a liminal epistemology, where threshold consciousness...

The increasing prevalence of anxiety and psychological distress in the post-pandemic era has intensified interest in spiritual and religious sources of mental tranquility. Although previous studies have discussed the psychological and spiritual benefits of dhikr, the relationship between the Qur’anic concept of tranquility and its cognitive-neuroscientific mechanisms remains insufficiently...
Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research) October 13, 2026 Adam Cupell preprint
Abstract Debate about artificial intelligence and consciousness has centered on one question: is AI conscious? At The Science of Consciousness conference (TSC 2026, San Diego), the prevailing answer was no, supported by substantial argument and data. This paper proposes that the question, however well answered, is not the most productive one. It offers a reframe first posed by the author at TSC...

Neuroscientist and neurologist Michael N. Shadlen is a world leader in the neurobiology of decision-making, a field of study he helped establish. His research explores higher brain functions-memory retrieval, reasoning, and multitasking, among others-that he theorizes share underlying mechanisms. His work suggests that a holy grail of neuroscience-the "hard problem" of consciousness, or the...

Center for Anticipation 2.0 is an independent research initiative founded by Sergey Antonovich Kravchenko, continuing the work of the original Center for Anticipation (2008–2018). The project investigates how possible futures are represented in human experience through dreams, intuition, premonitions, altered states of consciousness, and anticipatory processes. Particular attention is given to...

Sense of ownership is defined as the feeling that a body part belongs to oneself. While altered states of consciousness have been extensively studied, their effects on bodily self-perception and susceptibility to perceptual illusions remain largely unexplored. This study investigated how psychedelic-like VR experience alters sense of ownership, using a tool “Oscilleditor” by Qualia Research...
