The Phenomenology of Anti-NMDA Receptor Encephalitis: A Comparison with "Primary Mental Confusion" in Late 19th Century French Psychiatry.

Frontiers in Bioscience April 1, 2022 Ryo Kato, Ryo Takenaka, Takuya Matsumoto

Although various studies have been conducted on anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis since it was first reported in 2007, few studies have closely examined its clinical course.

Dreaming Man in the Phenomenology of Madness by Michel Foucault

Ideas and Ideals March 25, 2022 O. Tsvetkova

The article analyzes the development of the ideas of Ludwig Binswanger in the early works of Michel Foucault. The transformation of the basic concepts of Dasein-analysis by M. Foucault leads him to the idea of a human as a dreamer being, and a dream as a way of understanding the ontological foundations of human existence. The article reveals M. Foucault’s idea of the predominance of dreaming...

Differential contributions of serotonergic and dopaminergic functional connectivity to the phenomenology of LSD

Psychopharmacology March 24, 2022 Timothy Lawn, Ottavia Dipasquale, Alexandros Vamvakas et al. 48 citations

Abstract Rationale LSD is the prototypical psychedelic. Despite a clear central role of the 5HT 2a receptor in its mechanism of action, the contributions of additional receptors for which it shows affinity and agonist activity remain unclear. Objectives We employed receptor-enriched analysis of functional connectivity by targets (REACT) to explore differences in functional connectivity (FC)...

Frontiers in Psychiatry March 18, 2022 Tudi Gozé

Background: The Praecox Feeling (PF) refers to a classical psychopathological concept describing the specific experience of bizarreness arising in the encounter with a person living with schizophrenia spectrum disorders (SSDs).

Understanding Selfhood to Elucidate the Phenomenology of Mindfulness

Philosophia February 26, 2022 Joe Higgins 2 citations

Abstract The health benefits of practising mindfulness are well documented, yet the phenomenological mechanisms of such practice remain under-theorised from both ontogenetic and social perspectives. By leveraging an enactive perspective on selfhood, these lacunae can be addressed: firstly, it is argued that proper understanding of mindfulness – and the health benefits that mindfulness practices...

What of the Hard Problem?

In Consciousness we Trust February 10, 2022 Hakwan Lau

Abstract This chapter argues that the subjective quality of a conscious experience can be understood in terms of how similar it is to all other possible experiences. We discuss how these similarity relationships can be implicitly and conveniently assessed, given the structure of the mammalian sensory cortices. These mechanisms allow the subject to “know”, without effort, what an experience is...

The Puzzle of Cognitive Phenomenology

Oxford Studies in Philosophy of Mind Volume 2 February 3, 2022 Tim Bayne

The cognitive phenomenology debate concerns the nature of conscious thought. On one side of the debate are those who deny that thought has a sui generis phenomenal character. This view—which I refer to as ‘conservatism’—holds that to the extent that thoughts are phenomenally conscious, their phenomenal character is purely sensory. On the other side of the debate are those who hold that thought...
