ABSTRACT The mind–technology problem refers to issues that lie at the intersection of technology development and the philosophy of mind. In the present paper, I explore one aspect of the mind–technology problem, namely, the role of technologies in supporting the emergence of extended minds. I approach this issue from an engineering perspective, suggesting that the project to build extended...

This paper undertook a critical and exploratory inquiry into how causality in the mind-body relationship has been theorised and operationalised in contemporary mental health discourse. Unlike dominant approaches that prioritised brain-based explanations for psychological disorders, this paper interrogated the ontological and epistemic assumptions underpinning neurobiological reductionism, which...

Many modern theories of consciousness seek to be consistent with prevailing scientific theories of the physical. While ontological flexibilities and current uncertainties in physical laws permit many options, it remains valuable to monitor evolving scientific thinking, generating new constraints and ideas for consciousness research. A structured literature review identifies 24 distinct...

Selective attention, visual short-term memory (VSTM), and visual consciousness are longstanding core domains in cognitive psychology and neuroscience. Recent findings using partial report and change detection paradigms suggest that VSTM involves multiple stages, each engaging distinct attentional processes. Crucially, the interplay between selective attention and VSTM lies at the heart of...

Episodic autobiographical memory (EAM) is a building block of self-consciousness, involving recollection and subjective re-experiencing of personal past experiences. Any life episode is originally encoded by a subject within a body. This raises the possibility that memory encoding is shaped by bodily self-consciousness (BSC), a basic form of self-consciousness arising from the multisensory and...

The article "Quanta of Consciousness: The Physical Mystery of David Chalmers and the Ontological Process of Gilbert Simondon" is dedicated to a critical comparison of two fundamentally different philosophical strategies for utilizing concepts related to quantum mechanics in the understanding of consciousness. The focus is on analyzing how Chalmers invokes literal quantum processes (for example,...
Integrative Psychological and Behavioral Science October 1, 2025 Mohammad Dawood Rahimi
In the present work of intellect, we introduce a novel approach to selfhood, the Onto-Rhythmic Self, situated within a participatory ontology in which Consciousness and Time function not as substrates but as expressive modalities of Being. Through a comparative critique of Husserl's transcendental ego and Dennett's narrative self, we classify four axes of limitation: the Who of subjectivity,...

BACKGROUND: Sleep dysfunction shares a bidirectional relationship with hallucinatory experiences, with the strongest path from sleep dysfunction to the occurrence of hallucinatory experiences. This review aimed to identify potential mechanisms through which sleep dysfunction leads to hallucinations. STUDY DESIGN: A narrative review was conducted across 4 levels of explanation: phenomenology...
Philosophy East and West October 1, 2025 Neil Dalal
Abstract: This article explores ways to reconcile paradoxes of embodiment in Śaṅkara’s doctrine of liberation-while-living ( jīvanmukti ) by exploring its parallels with lucid dreaming. I engage in lucid dreaming as a thought experiment in which a lucid dreamer could feasibly reflect on dream experience through an Advaita Vedāntic philosophical lens. If approached this way, lucid dreaming...

Glutamatergic neurons in the supramammillary nucleus (SuM) have previously been shown to be pivotal parts of the wakefulness-sleep regulation system. However, whether they play a role in propofol-mediated modulation of consciousness remains unclear. This study hypothesized that glutamatergic neurons in the SuM contribute to the regulation of altered states of consciousness under propofol...
