The central theme is the search for the light of truth, which, in Augustine's view, involves both intellectual speculation and profound spiritual experience. The...
Magneto/electroencephalography (M/EEG) studies of dreaming are an essential paradigm in the investigation of neurocognitive processes of human consciousness during sleep, but they are limited by the number of observations that can be collected per study.

Upper Palaeolithic parietal art is frequently found deep within cave systems where illumination technologies were required for art production. Kedar, Kedar, & Barkai hypothesise that the oxygen consumption of illumination technology, combined with the poor ventilation of deep cave chambers, resulted in a hypoxia-induced altered-state-of-consciousness which incentivised ritual activity and...

This paper explores these states through the interdisciplinary lens of existential neuroscience, integrating insights from psychoanalysis, existentialism, affective neuroscience, and psychedelic research. Starting with the...
