Abstract:
AbstractAlthough the subject matter of religious studies is essentially phenomenal (e.g., conscious acts, attitudes, intentions, worldviews), the analysis of the basic datum, consciousness itself, remains of necessity incomplete because of the discipline's restriction to the phenomenal envelope. Philosophical and psychological analysis contributed to our understanding of consciousness, but, lacking access to the neurological engine-room of consciousness, their explanatory power is compromised as well. Neuroscience, on the other hand, has moved beyond the behaviorist denial of consciousness and recent research indicates that the evolutionary development of the brain's representational capacity may well account for its ability to generate consciousness. These advances provide an opportunity to marry objective explanation with phenomenological descriptions of the view from the inside, creating a powerful new analytic tool: Neuro-phenomenology. Comprised of an exaggerated differentiation between conscious state and informational content, and constituting an important phenomenological category within many Hindu and Buddhist programs, lucid consciousness makes an ideal subject with which to assess the analytic power of Neurophenomenology.

Abstract:
- Two fundamental approaches are considered in this paper: materialistic reductionism and neurophenomenology. According to reductionism, the neurosciences can ascertain the reliability of psychological cognition by investigating the material do- main. Neurophenomenology, instead, recurs to an integrated and complex approach, which combines philosophical, psychological and neurological knowledge. This essay critically analyses these approaches, and tries to define their respective philosophical genealogy.Key words: Epistemology, Mind/body problem, Neurophenomenology, Neuroscience, Psychoanalysis, Reductionism.Parole chiave: Epistemologia, Neurofenomenologia, Neuroscienze, Psicoanalisi, Relazione mente/corpo, Riduzionismo

Abstract:
Abstract The worldview emerging from neurophenomenology is consistent with the phenomenological insights obtained by Neoplatonic theurgical operations. For example, gods and daimons are phenomenologically equivalent to the archetypes and complexes investigated in Jungian psychology and explicated by evolutionary psychology. Jung understood the unconscious mind and physical reality to have a common root in an unus mundus (with physical and psychical aspects). Parallel reductions in the phenomenological and neurological domain imply elementary constituents of consciousness associated with simple physical systems, that is, natural processes experienced both externally (objectively) and internally (subjectively). Analysis reveals they have both an eternal formal structure and a material substrate that allows the formal structure to evolve in time with both phenomenal and physical aspects. Since all physical processes fit this description, a form of panpsychism is implied. These developments can inform our understanding of the Forms, the World Soul, and individual souls in Neoplatonism.

Abstract:
People with synaesthesia have additional perceptual experiences, which are automatically and consistently triggered by specific inducing stimuli. Synaesthesia therefore offers a unique window into the neurocognitive mechanisms underlying conscious perception. A long-standing question in synaesthesia research is whether it is possible to artificially induce non-synaesthetic individuals to have synaesthesia-like experiences. Although synaesthesia is widely considered a congenital condition, increasing evidence points to the potential of a variety of approaches to induce synaesthesia-like experiences, even in adulthood. Here, we summarize a range of methods for artificially inducing synaesthesia-like experiences, comparing the resulting experiences to the key hallmarks of natural synaesthesia which include consistency, automaticity and a lack of ‘perceptual presence’. We conclude that a number of aspects of synaesthesia can be artificially induced in non-synaesthetes. These data suggest the involvement of developmental and/or learning components in the acquisition of synaesthesia, and they extend previous reports of perceptual plasticity leading to dramatic changes in perceptual phenomenology in adults. This article is part of a discussion meeting issue ‘Bridging senses: novel insights from synaesthesia’.

Full text
Abstract:
The aim of this work is to lay the basis of a post-Cartesian cognitive science of music. Traditional psychology of music often adopts a theoretical framework in line with the dualistic stance characterising the Cartesian approach, which implies a separation between mind and matter or, in its materialistic version, a separation between brain and body. I criticize such a paradigm on the basis of theoretical and empirical evidence, showing that alternative models of human musicality offer more plausible explanations without any dichotomy between objective/subjective and internal/external. The thesis that I will defend throughout this work holds that musical cognition is not something that occurs in our head. Rather, it is a process that extends beyond the boundaries of skull and skin, being constituted by the dynamic interplay between embodied agents and the environment in which they are embedded. I will defend such a claim through an interdisciplinary approach that lies at the intersection of different fields of research (cognitive neuroscience, philosophy of mind, phenomenology) and by providing an original interpretation of the enactive paradigm that emerged during the last decade of the Twentieth Century in the realm of cognitive science.

Abstract:
The purpose of this research study was to propose a new learning theory for career and technical education with a foundation in philosophy and neuroscience. It purports to combine constructivism, phenomenology and neuroscience into a proposed learning theory entitled ‘constructivist neurophenomenology embedded in embodied cognition, that is, the formative role that the environment plays in the development of cognitive processes. The theory represents a trinity of constructivism’s genetic epistemology manifesting itself in (a) accommodation, (b) phenomenology’ intentionality, that is there is always something there for consciousness, and (c) neuroscience cell assembly. These three actions of the brain construct consciousness, memory, and learning via metaphorical thinking.

Abstract:
Psychedelics can enable a broad and paradoxical spectrum of linguistic phenomena from the unspeakability of mystical experience to the eloquence of the songs of the shaman or curandera. Interior dialogues with the Other, whether framed as the voice of the Logos, an alien download, or communion with ancestors and spirits, are relatively common. Sentient visual languages are encountered, their forms unrelated to the representation of speech in natural language writing systems. This thesis constructs a theoretical model of linguistic phenomena encountered in the psychedelic sphere for the field of altered states of consciousness research (ASCR). The model is developed from a neurophenomenological perspective, especially the work of Francisco Varela, and Michael Winkelman’s work in shamanistic ASC, which in turn builds on the biogenetic structuralism of Charles Laughlin, John McManus, and Eugene d’Aquili. Neurophenomenology relates the physical and functional organization of the brain to the subjective reports of lived experience in altered states as mutually informative, without reducing consciousness to one or the other. Consciousness is seen as a dynamic multistate process of the recursive interaction of biology and culture, thereby navigating the traditional dichotomies of objective/subjective, body/mind, and inner/outer realities that problematically characterize much of the discourse in consciousness studies. The theoretical work of Renaissance scholar Stephen Farmer on the evolution of syncretic and correlative systems and their relation to neurobiological structures provides a further framework for the exegesis of the descriptions of linguistic phenomena in first-person texts of long-term psychedelic selfexploration. Since the classification of most psychedelics as Schedule I drugs, legal research came to a halt; self-experimentation as research did not. Scientists such as Timothy Leary and John Lilly became outlaw scientists, a social aspect of the “unspeakability” of these experiences. Academic ASCR has largely side-stepped examination of the extensive literature of psychedelic selfexploration. This thesis examines aspects of both form and content from these works, focusing on those that treat linguistic phenomena, and asking what these linguistic experiences can tell us about how the psychedelic landscape is constructed, how it can be navigated, interpreted, and communicated within its own experiential field, and communicated about to make the data accessible to inter-subjective comparison and validation. The methodological core of this practice-based research is a technoetic practice as defined by artist and theoretician Roy Ascott: the exploration of consciousness through interactive, artistic, and psychoactive technologies. The iterative process of psychedelic self-exploration and creation of interactive software defines my own technoetic practice and is the means by which I examine my states of consciousness employing the multidimensional visual language Glide.

Abstract:
Music Therapy
Ph.D.
The Bonny Method of Guided Imagery and Music (GIM) is an individual form of music psychotherapy known for facilitating profound and embodied music and imagery experiences. GIM theorists have argued that the use of music and imagery can facilitate a mind-body interaction, leading to powerful experiences that affect all facets of a person's being. But this interaction has not been directly examined in GIM, despite the need to understand its nature and risks. This gap in research is due to the inherent limitations of the two major paradigms used in this field: quantitative research cannot account for unique individual responses to phenomena, while qualitative research is not predictive in the same way as quantitative, positivistic research. This study used a new research approach, neurophenomenology, in order to link participants' descriptions of qualitative music and imagery experiences with electroencephalographic (EEG) data, providing context for the brain data while also illuminating the neurological effect of imagery experiences. The music and imagery session used a guided imagery script which focused on six different kinds of imagery experiences (Affect, Body, Interaction, Kinesthetic, Memories, Visual) and was pre-recorded over two different classical musical pieces selected from the GIM literature. Four participants each underwent individual music and imagery sessions using the pre-recorded script and music while having simultaneous EEG data collected. Afterward, participants viewed a video of their sessions with the researcher and described their imagery experiences during a phenomenological interview. The contents of the transcribed interviews were coded into phenomenological categories concerning the congruence of image with guiding cue, imagery modality, stability of imagery, awareness of guiding and music, and awareness of altered state of consciousness (ASC). Meanwhile, consultants performed coherence analyses on the EEG data, examining relationships between major regions of the brain according to both guiding condition and frequency ranges of brain waves. The researcher integrated the phenomenological and EEG data for each participant, and then across cases to determine patterns of subjective experience and brain response. Each participant demonstrated distinctive styles of reported imagery experience with brain responses, ranging from minimal emotional involvement with alertness, to drowsy, disjointed body sensory imagery, to drowsy, disconnected emotional imagery, to a deeper exploration of consciousness with a consistent ASC. Cross-case comparisons of the integrated data showed that 1) the ASC involves both physical relaxation and ongoing focus on the imagery experience; 2) imagery generates brain activity in the same regions that would process information from similar real-life experiences; 3) beta and gamma frequencies played a significant role in how participants maintained an ASC and made meaning out of the imagery. Implications of these and other conclusions from the separate examination of EEG and phenomenological data are discussed.

Abstract:
Le travail présenté dans cette thèse vise à nous amener à une meilleure compréhension des relations fines entre ce que nous expérimentons phénoménologiquement sous la forme d'états mentaux, et les effets sous-jacents et potentiellement causaux sur l'activité neuronale. Afin d'étendre notre compréhension scientifique de l'expérience consciente, nous avons d'abord mis l'accent sur un phénomène appelé la pensée spontanée ou vagabondage de l'esprit. Notre paysage intérieur est un aspect essentiel et complexe de notre expérience humaine, avec des recherches suggérant que les gens sont engagés dans une forme de dialogue intérieur sans rapport avec leur environnement immédiat 50% de leur temps de veille. De plus, le vagabondage de l'esprit a constamment été associé à un affect négatif, même lorsque son contenu est positif. Il est alors intéressant de noter que les fondements de la plupart des pratiques méditatives et contemplatives sont la formation de l'observation flexible et continue des états mentaux et de l'expérience sensorielle, le développement d'une attention soutenue et la culture de la conscience métacognitive. Étant donné que nous ne sommes généralement pas au courant de la fluctuation temporelle de ces états mentaux dans le temps (vagabondage de l'esprit), les méditants sont des sujets idéaux pour obtenir de manière précise des rapports phénoménologiques et des descriptions des états à la première personne. Ainsi, nous avons conçu un paradigme nouveau basé sur présentation de sondage d'expérience aux méditants afin de mieux comprendre les mesures dynamiques de l'EEG (Electroencéphalographie) pendant la méditation. Nos résultats suggèrent que la pratique experte de méditation est associée à une fréquence atténuée de la pensée spontanée et que l'entraînement à la méditation réduit par la suite la susceptibilité de l'esprit à errer, menant à des périodes d'absorption méditative rapportées comme étant plus longues. Les augmentations de l'activité thêta (4-7 Hz) sur les régions thêta frontales médianes ainsi que l'activité alpha (9-12 Hz), principalement focalisée sur le cortex somatosensoriel, semblent être des marqueurs d'états méditatifs soutenus par rapport au vagabondage mental. Sur la base de la robustesse de l'activité thêta de la ligne médiane frontale chez les méditants avancés, ainsi qu'une multitude de résultats démontrant que l'activité thêta frontale serait le pilier du contrôle cognitif via l'intégration et l'échange d'informations de longue portée, nous avons développé un protocole de neurofeedback méthodologiquement nouveau et exhaustif dans le but d'entraîner l'activité thêta (3.5-6.5 Hz) de la ligne médiane frontale Fz, en donnant comme instruction à nos sujets de s'engager dans des techniques de respiration et de relaxation similaires à la méditation. Nous avons constaté que les sujets qui ont reçu le vrai neurofeedback ont été capables de moduler significativement leur activité thêta Fz (3-7 Hz) à travers huit séances de neurofeedback par rapport aux sujets contrôles qui ont reçu un feedback apparié. Nous avons également observé des modulations significatives dans les bandes de fréquences alpha (9-11 Hz) et bêta (13-20 Hz) chez les sujets qui ont reçu l'entraînement réel de neurofeedback, ainsi que des améliorations sur plusieurs mesures des fonctions exécutives. Nos résultats réduisent davantage l'écart explicatif en reliant caractéristique neurophysiologique et données à la nature phénoménologique de notre experience
The work presented in this thesis aims to extend our scientific understanding of the subtle relationships between our phenomenological experience of specific states of consciousness, and the corresponding and potentially causal effects on neural activity. In our first experiment, we focused on a phenomenon referred to as spontaneous thought or mind wandering. Our vastly complex inner landscape is an essential aspect of our conscious experience, with research suggesting that people are engaged in some form of inner dialogue unrelated to their surroundings 50% of waking hours. These ongoing trains of thought have been consistently linked to reports of negative affect, even when the specific content is positive. Interestingly, the cornerstones of most meditation and contemplative practices are; a) training the continuous and flexible monitoring of mind wandering and sensory experience, b) the cultivation of sustained attention, and c) enhanced metacognitive awareness. Given that we are generally unaware of mind wandering when it occurs, meditation practitioners may provide more accurate first person phenomenological reports and descriptions of these temporally fluctuating states given their respective training. Thus, we designed a novel paradigm based on experience sampling probe presentations to gain insight into the dynamic measures of mental activity and EEG during meditation. Our findings suggest that meditation expertise is associated with an attenuated frequency of mind wandering, and that meditation training reduces the susceptibility of the mind to wander subsequently leading to longer periods of reported meditative absorption. Increases in theta activity (4-7 Hz) over frontal midline regions of the cortex, and alpha activity (9-12 Hz) primarily focused over the somatosensory cortex, appear to be markers of sustained meditative states when compared to mind wandering. Based on the robustness of the frontal midline theta in advanced meditators, alongside a multitude of findings demonstrating that frontal theta may serve as the backbone for cognitive control via long range information integration in neural networks throughout the brain, we then developed a methodologically novel and exhaustive neurofeedback protocol with the aim of training frontal midline theta (3.5-6.5 Hz at electrode site Fz) by means of instructing our subjects to engage in focused breathing and other techniques similar to meditation. After eight training sessions, we found that subjects who received real neurofeedback were able to significantly modulate and increase theta activity (3-7 Hz) over frontal regions, whereas subject's receiving age and gender matched sham (pseudo) feedback were not. We additionally observed significant modulations in both the alpha (9-11 Hz) and beta bands (13-20 Hz) in subjects who received real neurofeedback training. Together, these findings provide evidence that we can successfully connect neurophysiological features and data to the phenomenological nature of our subjective experience

Abstract:
The present study explores the nature and structure of spiritual and aesthetic experiences through the interdisciplinary application of neurophenomenology (NP). This approach merges aspects of psychology, neurophysiology, and phenomenology into a unified methodology. The study is nested within a larger project, Space, Science, and Spirituality, and as such, it carries a common goal to use simulation to evoke spiritual and aesthetic responses similar to those expressed by astronauts and cosmonauts. Careful analysis of previous work in NP provided methodological “lessons learned”, which guided the experimental design, execution, and analysis of the present study. The data collected provides support for experience as a phenomenon that can be studied through empirical means. Further, the articulation of spiritual and aesthetic experiences akin to astronaut experiences corresponds to specific neurological and psychological indicators. Among those indicators are differences in EEG measures during simulation time relative to expressions of spiritual experience following the simulation and changes in visual processing across theta, alpha, and beta signals as correlated with self-identification. These findings support an embodied theory of experience that incorporates memory, executive function, perception, and consciousness. In addition to its academic contribution, this research holds implications for commercial space flight, long-term space missions, post-traumatic stress disorder therapies, and the entertainment industry.

Full text
Abstract:
Rhythmicity and synchronization are fundamental mechanisms employed by countless natural phenomena to communicate. Previous research has found evidence for synchronization in patients and therapists during clinical activity, for instance in their body movements (Ramseyer & Tschacher, 2011) and physiological activations (e.g. Marci et al, 2007; Kleinbub et al., 2012; Messina et al., 2013). While this phenomenon has been found associated with different important aspects of clinical relationship, such as empathy, rapport, and outcome, and many authors suggested that it may describe crucial dimensions of the therapeutic dyad interaction and change, a clear explanation of its meaning is still lacking. The goals of the present work were to: 1) Provide a solid theoretical and epistemological background, in which to inscribe the phenomenon. This was pursued by crossing neurophenomenology’s sophisticated ideas on mind-body integration (Varela, 1996) and Infant Research’s detailed observations on development of infants’ Self through their relationships. The common ground for this connection was the complex systems theory (von Bertalanffy, 1968; Haken, 2006). 2) Contribute to literature through two replications of existing studies (Kleinbub et al., 2012; Messina et al., 2013) on skin conductance (SC) synchronization. In addition to the original designs, secure attachment priming (Mikulincer & Shaver, 2007) was introduced to explore if observed SC linkage was susceptible to manipulation, accordingly to the developmental premises defined in the theoretical chapters. Study 1 focused on synchrony between students and psychotherapists in simulated clinical sessions; Study 2 reprised the same methodology with two principal changes: first the clinician’s role was played by psychologists without further clinical trainings, and second, each psychologist was involved in two distinct interviews, in order to assess the impact of individual characteristics on SC synchrony. 3) Provide an ideographical exploration of the psychotherapy processes linked to matched SC activity. In study 3 the highest and lowest synchrony sequences of 6 sessions of psychodynamic psychotherapy were subject of a detailed phenomenological content analysis. These micro-categories were synthetized in more abstract ones, in order to attempt the recognizing of regularities that could shed light on the phenomenon. 4) To explore the pertinence of employing mathematical properties derived from the application of system theory in psychological contexts. In study 4, Shannon’s entropy and order equations (1948) were applied on the transcribed verbal content of 12 depression psychotherapies, to assess both intra-personal and inter-personal (dyad) order in verbal categories. Results from these studies provided further evidence for the existence of a synchronization mechanism in the clinical dyads. Furthermore the various findings were generally supporting the dyad system theoretical model, and its description of regulatory dynamics as a good explanation of the synchronization phenomena. Discrepancies with previous literature highlighted the need for further studies to embrace more methodological sophistication (such as employing lag analysis), and cautiousness in the interpretation of results.
Ritmo e sincronia sono meccanismi fondamentali alla base dello scambio di informazione in innumerevoli fenomeni naturali. Ricerche precedenti hanno evidenziato la presenza di meccanismi di sincronizzazione in pazienti e terapeuti durante la pratica clinica, ad esempio nei loro movimenti corporei (Ramseyer & Tschacher, 2011) e nelle attivazioni fisiologiche (es. Marci et al, 2007; Kleinbub et al., 2012; Messina et al., 2013). Nonostante tale fenomeno sia stato associato a diversi importanti aspetti della relazione terapeutica, quali l’empatia, il rapport, l’esito del percorso clinico, e nonostante molti di tali autori siano concordi nel suggerire che tale meccanismo possa descrivere dimensioni cruciali della relazione terapeutica e dei suoi processi di cambiamento, una chiara spiegazione e comprensione del suo significato è ancora assente. Pertanto gli obiettivi del presente lavoro sono: 1) Fornire un solido background teorico ed epistemologico nel quale inscrivere tale fenomeno. Tale obiettivo è stato perseguito tracciando un ideale filo rosso fra la sofisticata integrazione fra corpo e mente ad opera del pensiero neurofenomenologico (Varela, 1966), e le dettagliate osservazioni sull’evoluzione del Se nei bambini attraverso le loro relazioni primarie ad opera del movimento dell’Infant Research. Il terreno comune per operare tale connessione è stato fornito dalla teoria dei modelli complessi (von Bertalanffy, 1968; Haken, 2006). 2) Contribuire alla letteratura attraverso due replicazioni di studi precedenti (Kleinbub et al., 2012; Messina et al., 2013) sulla sincronizzazione della conduttanza cutanea (CC). In aggiunta ai disegni originali, è stata introdotta una tecnica di priming della sicurezza di attaccamento (Mikulincer & Shaver, 2007), per osservare se e come la coordinazione nella CC nella diade terapeutica fosse soggetta a manipolazione, e coerente col modello di sviluppo scelto per interpretare il fenomeno. Lo studio 1 si focalizza sulla sincronia fra studenti e psicoterapeuti durante simulazioni di colloqui clinici; lo studio 2 riprende tale metodo con due differenze significative: il ruolo di clinico è stato ricoperto da psicologi senza ulteriore formazione, ed ogni psicologo ha condotto due colloqui, al fine di investigare l’impatto delle caratteristiche individuali sulla sincronia. 3) Fornire una esplorazione ideografica dei processi terapeutici connessi all’attivazione CC simultanea. Nello studio 3 le sequenze di maggiore e minore sincronia di 6 sessioni di psicoterapia psicodinamica sono state analizzate attraverso una dettagliata analisi del contenuto fenomenologica. Le micro-categorie da essa ottenute sono poi state sintetizzate in categorie più astratte al fine di cercare di riconoscere la presenza di regolarità che potessero gettare luce sul fenomeno. 4) Esplorare la pertinenza dell’utilizzo di proprietà matematiche derivate dall’applicazione della teoria sistemica nei contesti psicologici. Nello studio 4, le formule di entropia e ordine di Shannon (1948), sono state applicate sui trascritti del contenuto verbale di 12 psicoterapie di pazienti depressi, per investigare la presenza di ordine nelle categorie verbali sia intra-personali, che inter-personali (diade). Gli esiti di tali studi hanno rivelato ulteriore evidenza rispetto all’esistenza di meccanismi di sincronizzazione nella diade clinica. Inoltre i vari risultati erano generalmente in supporto al modello sistemico diadico e la sua descrizione delle dinamiche di regolazione si è rivelata una buona spiegazione dei processi di sincronizzazione. Discrepanze minori rispetto alla letteratura sottolineano il bisogno di proseguire la ricerca in questo settore attraverso una maggiore accortezza metodologica (ad esempio tramite lag-analysis), e cautela nell’interpretazione dei risultati.

Abstract:
The fleeting dream images of sleep onset afford a rare glimpse at how experience is transformed from the perceptually grounded consciousness of wakefulness to the hallucinatory simulations of dreaming. These images, or microdreams, are briefer, simpler, and more accessible to phenomenological scrutiny than are the long REM dreams traditionally recorded in the sleep lab. This chapter shows that a focus on microdream phenomenology has thus far contributed to (1) developing a classification system for dreaming’s core phenomenology (Windt`s oneiragogic spectrum), (2) establishing a structure for assessing dreaming’s multiple memory inputs (multi-temporal memory sources), (3) furthering Silberer’s project for sleep onset imagery by uncovering two new types of imagery (autosensory imagery, exosensory imagery), and (4) providing a larger framework for explaining some microdreaming processes (multisensory integration approach). A continued focus on microdream neurophenomenology may help resolve outstanding questions about dreaming’s core features, neurophysiological correlates, and memory sources.

Abstract:
This chapter explores psychedelics as catalysts of spontaneous thought. Classic serotonergic psychedelics such as psilocybin, LSD, and ayahuasca can induce potent alterations in cognition and perception. The chapter reviews research on these substances through the lens of cultural neurophenomenology, which aims to trace how neurobiology and sociocultural factors interact to shape experience. After a decades-long hiatus, the scientific study of psychedelics is rediscovering the potential of these substances to promote creative insight, evoke mystical experiences, and improve clinical outcomes. Moreover, neuroimaging experiments have begun to unravel the influence of psychedelics on large-scale connectivity networks of the human brain. Tapping perspectives from the social sciences, the chapter underscores how culture and context constrain the flexible cognitive states brought about by psychedelics. This integrative approach suggests that seemingly spontaneous psychedelic thought patterns reflect a complex interaction of biological, cognitive, and cultural factors—from pharmacology and brain function to ritual, belief, and expectation.
