Historic and anecdotal evidence that natural sources of "psychedelic" drugs (e.g., mescaline psilocybin) have been used in religious spiritual settings for centuries, as well psychological self-enhancement purposes. Our study assessed total 667 psychedelic users, other nonusers by online questionnaires. Coping, life...
One way to study the neural correlates of visual consciousness is localize cortical areas whose stimulation generates subjective sensations, called phosphenes. While there support for view that several different in occipital lobe may produce phosphenes, it not clear what contribution each area is. Here, we studied roles primary cortex (V1) and adjacent V2 eliciting phosphenes by using functional magnetic resonance imaging-guided transcranial (TMS) combined with spherical modeling TMS-induced...
The Dream Catcher test defines the criteria for a genuine discovery of neural constituents phenomenal consciousness. Passing implies that some patterns purely brain-based data directly correspond to subjective features experience, which would help bridge explanatory gap between consciousness and brain. Here, we conducted first time in step-wise simplified form, capturing its core idea. experiment involved Data Team, measured participants' brain activity during sleep collected dream reports,...

Aim: Our study's aim was to identify a method which can properly reveal the different layers of novel psychoactive substances (NPS) phenomenon appearing in online discussion fora. Besides (i) evaluating extent potential peer-help harm reduction within NPS fora discussants, we also aimed (ii) understand main purposes use among participants, (iii) chart their knowledge and attitude towards legality traded used (iv) explore feelings consumer decision making processes on market.Methods: A...
Abstract The relationships between hypnotizability, sleepiness, and the subjective experience of hypnotic suggestions were investigated in 90 participants. Scores from Harvard Group Scale Hypnotic Susceptibility Form A (HGSHS:A), Karolinska Sleepiness (KSS), Epworth (ESS), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), our self-developed Questionnaire on Subjective Experiences (QSHE) analyzed. Findings show that hypnotizability correlates with both habitual daytime sleepiness instantaneous after...
The article presents a comparative analysis of the theories on conceptions soul in indigenous and early European traditions. focal point study is observation that concept noticeably complex aboriginal cultures, its plural—especially tripartite—nature rule rather than exception. Another described pluralism, number components, their attributes go through speculative changes as tradition moves away tribal origins, which have shamanic state consciousness experiential source knowledge instead...
