A layered unity model of split-brain consciousness

Philosophical Studies June 12, 2025 Azenet Lopez

Split-brain subjects can consciously perceive and identify two stimuli presented simultaneously but separately in opposite hemifields. Yet, they seem to lack a conscious experience of the two stimuli together, as they cannot judge whether these are the same or different. Such breakdowns in experiential or phenomenal unity would carry important implications for philosophical reflection on the...

A consensus taxonomy of altered (nonordinary) states of consciousness: Bringing order to disarray.

Psychology of Consciousness Theory Research and Practice June 12, 2025 Etzel Cardeña, Aviva Berkovich-Ohana, Katja Valli et al. 11 citations

This article presents a taxonomy of altered states of consciousness, primarily based on their central phenomenological features. Following taxonomic principles and a modified Delphi methodology, a multidisciplinary, international group identified eight distinct phenomenological/behavioral states (some with subcategories): proto and transitional, delirium, minimal to no awareness, experiential...

Stimulants for disorders of consciousness in the intensive care unit: a randomized, placebo-controlled trial.

Brain June 12, 2025 Marwan H Othman, Attila Géry Toury-Puel, Karen Irgens Tanderup Hansen et al. 7 citations

In the intensive care unit (ICU), management of unresponsive patients with brain injury focuses on preventing secondary brain damage. Therapeutic strategies that directly promote the recovery of consciousness are urgently needed. In an investigator-initiated, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, cross-over trial, we studied the effects of apomorphine and methylphenidate in ICU patients...

Meditation and Mindfulness in the Management of Fibromyalgia Syndrome

Quality in Sport June 11, 2025 Martyna Biernacka, Anna Bieniasz, Katarzyna Agopsowicz et al.

Fibromyalgia is a complex and chronic pain syndrome characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain, fatigue, sleep disturbances, hypersensitivity to stimuli, and frequently co-occurring psychological symptoms such as depression and anxiety. Although conventional treatments remain essential, their limited effectiveness combined with the multifaceted nature of fibromyalgia, often leads patients...

Ontology and Teleology of Emergent Flow Theory (TFE): A Panpsychic View of Existence

Journal of Posthumanism June 10, 2025 Alfredo López Parra

The Emergent Flow Theory (EFT) is presented as an integrative proposal that articulates the foundations of quantum physics, neuroscience and philosophy of mind to address the phenomenon of consciousness from an inverse emergent panpsychic vision. Faced with the limitations of reductionist materialism and unfalsifiable idealism, EFT postulates that consciousness is not an exclusive property of...

THE PHILOSOPHY OF CONSCIOUSNESS WITHOUT AN OBJECT

Вісник НЮУ імені Ярослава Мудрого: Серія: Філософія, філософія права, політологія, соціологія June 10, 2025 Khrystyna Khvoinytska-Pereima 7 citations

The philosophy of consciousness without an object represents a profound inquiry into the nature of consciousness when divorced from its typical objects of thought, perception, or attention. This paper examines the theoretical underpinnings, implications, and philosophical challengesof a consciousness that does not necessarily tether itself to an object. Drawing from classical and contemporary...

Personalized stimulation therapies for disorders of consciousness: a computational approach to inducing healthy-like brain activity based on neural field theory.

Journal of Neural Engineering June 10, 2025 Daniel Polyakov, P A Robinson, Eli J Müller et al. 2 citations

Objective.Disorders of consciousness (DoC) remain a significant challenge in neurology, with traditional brain stimulation therapies showing limited and inconsistent efficacy across patients. This study presents a novel computational approach grounded in neural field theory for constructing personalized stimulus signals designed to induce healthy-like neural activity patterns in individuals...

Introduction: Embodying a Liberated Mind at Death.

Culture, Medicine, and Psychiatry June 10, 2025 Tawni L Tidwell

The Tukdam Project directed by affective neuroscientist Richard Davidson at the University of Wisconsin-Madison since 2013 has investigated Buddhist practitioners in India entering a Tibetan Buddhist post-death meditative state called tukdam (Tib., thugs dam), where the body demonstrates attenuated decomposition and presents an altered postmortem chronology process. Through a collaboration of...

A model training curriculum for psychedelic, psycholytic, and entactogen-assisted psychotherapy.

Journal of Psychopharmacology June 10, 2025 Torsten Passie, Anja Loizaga-Velder, Alicia Danforth et al. 4 citations

The authors offer a model for curriculum for education and training in substance-assisted psychotherapy (SAP), that is, psychedelic, psycholytic, and entactogen/MDMA (3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine)-assisted psychotherapy, addressing both the detailed contents of training and the question of experiential training. All authors of this model have an abiding interest and extensive experience in...

Conscious tactile perception entails distinct neural dynamics within somatosensory areas.

Current Biology June 9, 2025 Davide Albertini, Maria Del Vecchio, Ivana Sartori et al. 9 citations

Distilling the neural correlates of consciousness (NCCs) in humans is challenging due to limitations in the spatiotemporal resolution of recording techniques and confounds related to pre- and post-perceptual processes. In this study, we leveraged the detailed insights provided by human intracortical recordings to elucidate how somatosensory responses to simple tactile stimuli vary across...
