A 2022 article in Nature proclaimed the possibility of "Taking the tripping out of psychedelic medicine," highlighting efforts to engineer medically-compliant designer psychedelics purportedly delivering mental health benefits without inducing subjective experiences. Such developments have since initiated a new mainstream in the pharmaceuticalization and commodification of psychedelics. These...

Classic models of schizophrenia posit a complete loss of insight during psychotic episodes. However, clinical observations and recent phenomenological research, especially those on double bookkeeping, suggest that some patients retain partial self-observation capacities. This study explores the consciousness structure of schizophrenia, with particular attention to the partial insight phenomena....

Abstract Background A critical gap exists in understanding the biological mechanism linking ketamine’s rapid anti-suicidal effects to the Interpersonal Theory of Suicide (IPTS). While the "Kinetic Mismatch" between acute relief and delayed synaptogenesis is well-known, current models overlook how ketamine modulates “Thwarted Belongingness” (a core IPTS pillar) and the attachment anxiety that...

Abstract Background Psychedelics induce altered states of consciousness (AOC) with profound perceptual, cognitive, and emotional shifts, often linked to positive therapeutic outcomes. Although serotonergic psychedelics such as psilocybin, LSD, and 5-MeO-DMT share receptor targets, they differ in behavioral and neural effects. How these compounds alter cortical dynamics relative to other...

Philosophical and scientific accounts of knowledge frequently privilege articulated results, while the conditions through which those results become epistemically possible receive less attention. The present inquiry focuses on the generative...

Abstract Consciousness is mostly studied as if it were composed of independent snapshots, aggregating reports over trials and experimental contexts, disregarding any temporal aspect. However, almost nothing is known about how conscious experience spontaneously fluctuates in time. To shed light on the temporal dynamics of conscious awareness, we evaluated the temporal autocorrelation of...

The emergence of Modernism in the early twentieth century brought profound transformations in literary representation, reflecting the fragmentation, uncertainty, and spiritual disillusionment experienced by individuals living in rapidly changing social and cultural environments. Among the literary works that most effectively capture these concerns are T. S. Eliot’s The Love Song of J. Alfred...
