The Mathematics of Consciousness

American Journal of Biomedical Science & Research December 21, 2022 Paul C. Mocombe

This article highlights the mathematics of consciousness using Paul C Mocombe’s consciousness field theory. Mocombe posits that consciousness is not an epiphenomenon of the material brain; instead, the brain receives and facilitates consciousness, which is the resonance of a frequency wavelength expressed through his Garyian equation,φ=10−15 eV(4)±f(0) .

The psychological aspects within the Yogyakartan Bedhaya: An exploratory study on royal court dancers

Culture & Psychology December 21, 2022 Matheus Raoul Supriyadi, Satwika Rahapsari

As a classical art form reserved only for the Yogyakartan royalty from the 18th to the 20th century, the Bedhaya does not simply serve as entertainment for its audiences.

World Journal of Social Science December 20, 2022 David W. Orme-Johnson, Kenneth L. Cavanaugh, Michael C. Dillbeck et al.

Many conceptions of field-effects of consciousness have been proposed.

Collective consciousness in turn impacts the life of every individual, guiding the trends of life in the nation. Over 600 studies have documented...

Consciousness, Spirituality & Transpersonal Psychology December 20, 2022 David Furlong 1 citation

Altered states of consciousness (ASC) occur when there is a deviation from normal levels of psychological functioning.

A unified model of ketamine's dissociative and psychedelic properties.

Journal of Psychopharmacology December 17, 2022 Miriam Marguilho, Inês Figueiredo, Pedro Castro-Rodrigues 57 citations

Ketamine is an N-methyl-d-aspartate antagonist which is increasingly being researched and used as a treatment for depression.

However, ketamine is also commonly classified as an atypical psychedelic and it has been recently reported that ego dissolution experiences during...

Perceptual awareness is gradual in temporal and dichotomous in fronto-parietal cortices

bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory) December 15, 2022 Marta Poyo Solanas, Minye Zhan, Beatrice De Gelder 1 citation preprint

Abstract Two major issues in consciousness research concern the measuring methods that determine perceptual unawareness and whether consciousness is a gradual or an ‘all-or-nothing’ phenomenon. This 7T fMRI study addresses both questions using a continuous flash suppression paradigm with an emotional recognition task (fear vs neutral bodies) in combination with the perceptual awareness scale....

Izvestiya of Saratov University. Philosophy. Psychology. Pedagogy December 15, 2022 Y. Duplinskya, V. A. Friauf

The Boundaries of Affectivity (and a Coda on Extended Consciousness)

Perspectiva Filosófica December 12, 2022 G. Piredda

In this contribution I will offer a rough guide through “situated affectivity”, a small galaxy of theories, ideas, intuitions which are recently growing at the boundaries between philosophy of emotion, philosophy of mind, philosophy of cognitive science. In the last years, we are witnessing a real “affective turn” in the domain of analytic philosophy of mind and cognitive science, and situated...
