Abstract Studies of consciousness are hindered by the complexity of the brain, but it is possible to study the consciousness of a sensation, namely pain. Three systems are necessary to experience pain: the somatosensory system conveys information about an injury to the thalamus where an awareness of the injury but not the painfulness emerges. The thalamus distributes the information to the...

The article is devoted to the study of the features of the formation and development of the magical and mystical traditions in Russian culture, from the era of Ancient Rus’ to the present. In the culture of Ancient Russia the dominant was the magical consciousness, generated by the belief in the man’s ability to influence the material world with the help of certain rituals. The penetration of...

Both consciousness and quantum phenomenon are subjective and indetermi-nistic. In this paper, we propose consciousness is a quantum phenomenon. A quantum theory of consciousness (QTOC) is presented based on a new interpretation of quantum physics. We show that this QTOC can address the mind and body problem, the hard problem of consciousness. It also provides a physics foundation and...

Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) is a promising technique for studying consciousness recovery in patients suffering from Disorders of Consciousness (DoC) and in monkeys with anesthesia-induced Loss of Consciousness (LoC). When talking about the neural correlates of consciousness, the role of the frontal cortex remains a matter of debate. Using direct causal Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) at rest, we...

This study aims to distinguish different stages in functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) unlabeled data recorded during altered state of consciousness. We successfully identified three consistent clusters in each session and observed common patterns among different subjects, specifically a decrease in total hemoglobin levels throughout the experienced condition, which can underlie some...

Many cultures believe that the first traces of human consciousness during the incarnation may be present before birth. Practices based on this belief exist in many cultures. However, formal scientific inquiry into the possibility of communicating with prenatal consciousness has never been explored. To evaluate if it is possible to communicate with a hypothetical prenatal consciousness of the...

Subjective experience is experience in time. Unfolding in a continuous river of moments, our experience, however, consists not only in the changing phenomenological content per se but, further, in additional retrodiction and prospection of the moments that immediately preceded and followed it. It is in this way that William James's 'specious present' presents itself as extending between the...

In recent years, brain imaging studies have begun to shed light on the neural correlates of physiologically-reversible altered states of consciousness such as deep sleep, anesthesia, and psychedelic experiences. The emerging consensus is that normal waking consciousness requires the exploration of a dynamical repertoire enabling both global integration i.e., long-distance interactions between...

Abstract Conscious experience represents one of the most elusive problems of empirical science, namely neuroscience. The main objective of empirical studies of consciousness has been to describe the minimal sets of neural events necessary for a specific neuronal state to become consciously experienced. The current state of the art still does not meet this objective but rather consists of highly...

Abstract The search for neural correlates of emotional consciousness has gained momentum in the last decades. Nonetheless, disagreements concerning the mechanisms that determine the experiential qualities of emotional consciousness—the “what is it like” to feel an emotion—as well as on their neural correlates have far-reaching consequences on how researchers study and measure emotion, sometimes...
