This paper introduces a novel approach to lucid dream communication, leveraging electrooculographical signals for real-time, natural language messaging within dreams. Beyond traditional horizontal eye movement techniques, our methodology incorporates vertical eye movements, enhancing the expressive range of communication. Recognizing the potential for lucid dream communication in diverse...
Phenomenological discussions of sociality have long been concerned with the relations between the I, the You, and the We. Recently, dialogue between phenomenology and analytic philosophical work on collective intentionality has given rise to a corpus of literature oriented around the first‐person plural “we.” In this paper, I demonstrate how these dominant accounts of the “we” are not...

From there I turn to Frantz Fanon’s notion of possession as a...

The central part of the paper follows...
Breath is a grounding phenomenon present in many forms of Buddhist meditation.

Similarly,...
The paper aims to present the role of the philosophy of mind and consciousness for the philosophical practice (philosophical practice) and to explore the possibility of a transpersonal philosophical counseling.
While inattentional blindness and deafness studies have revealed neural correlates of consciousness (NCC) without the confound of task relevance in the visual and auditory modality, comparable studies for the somatosensory modality are lacking. Here, we investigated NCC using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) in an inattentional numbness paradigm. Participants (N = 44) received weak...
