The article aims to investigate the modern self-experience of an individual from the point of view of the historical conditions that make this experience possible. This undertaking will be supported by the turn to a theory and practice of self-examination as it appears in early Christianity. It is widely recognized that there is a connection between modernity and subjectivity. One of the areas...

The Faradarmani Consciousness Field (CF), a complementary and alternative medicine (CAM), introduced by Mohammad Ali Taheri, is a novel qualitative field which is neither matter nor energy. This study was designed to investigate the effects of Faradarmani CF, on autonomic nervous system (ANS) functioning. For this purpose, heart rate variability (HRV) and skin conductance (SC) indices were...

After the emergence of Mindfulness in the Western world, many studies proved its mental and physical benefits. However, implementing Mindfulness in psychotherapy has several challenges: therapists are not formal Mindfulness instructors; the Mindfulness course is a continuous eight-week course, which many patients do not attend during therapy, while others attend and drop out. Thus, Hypnosis was...

Background: Buddhist-derived meditation is a well-known phenomenological practice that enhances overall well-being of individuals. However, broad and less-rigorous criteria in recruiting suitable meditation practitioners affect the reliability of results obtained through meditation research. Therefore, we aimed at developing an instrument to identify and recruit skilled meditators to be used in...

Building on new trends in neuroscience and philosophy of mind, this chapter provides a roadmap for incorporating consciousness into social research, by introducing a method of guided introspection that has the potential to revolutionize our understanding of agency. This method, whose epistemological situation is isomorphic to that of quantum physics, enables researchers to gain insight into the...

The chief undertaking in the studies of consciousness is that of unravelling the neural correlates of consciousness. To this day, this crusade remains at an impasse, with a clash of two main theoretical stances: the Global Neuronal Workspace and the Recurrent Processing. Yet, cellular and neurophysiological studies of consciousness have been mostly dissociated from the two. Herein, a...

Anomalous self-experiences (ASEs) in schizophrenia have been under research for the last 20 years. However, no neuroimage studies have provided insight of the possible biological underpinning of ASEs. In this novel approach, the connectivity within the default mode network, calculated through a ROI-based analysis of functional magnetic resonance imaging data, was correlated to the ASEs scores...

Consciousness appears to be an emergent property of some complex, nonlinear system in the brain. According to the integrated information theory of consciousness (IIT), a complex system composed of numerous integrated processing elements can be conscious due to the existence of a global, system-level integration of that complexity, which is associated with a specific level of information known...
