K_1_04 — Brain as Filter vs Generator
Two opposing models have dominated the consciousness debate for over a century:
K_1_02 — Biocentrism and Observer-Dependent Reality
Biocentrism, proposed by Robert Lanza (stem cell biologist) and Bob Berman (astronomer) in 2009, argues that consciousness is FUNDAMENTAL to the universe — not an accidental byproduct of matter — and that the universe's
K_1_05 — Global Workspace Theory
Global Workspace Theory (GWT), proposed by Bernard Baars (1988) and neurally formalized by Stanislas Dehaene and Jean-Pierre Changeux as the Global Neuronal Workspace (GNW, 1998–2011), is one of the leading scientific th
K_1_15 — Consciousness–Genetics Interface
Genetic variation significantly modulates conscious experience, including baseline personality, susceptibility to altered states, response to psychoactive substances, meditation capacity, and vulnerability to disorders o
K_1_08 — Higher-Order Theories of Consciousness
Higher-order (HO) theories of consciousness propose that a mental state becomes conscious not by virtue of its intrinsic properties but because it is the target of a higher-order mental representation — a thought, percep
K_1_09 — Philosophical Zombies and the Hard Problem
The philosophical zombie (p-zombie) thought experiment, formalized by David Chalmers (1996), asks: Could there exist a being physically and functionally identical to a conscious human — identical atom for atom, processin
K_4_13 — Mirror Neurons and Social Cognition
Mirror neurons are a class of neurons, first discovered in the early 1990s in the premotor cortex (area F5) of macaque monkeys by Giacomo Rizzolatti, Vittorio Gallese, and colleagues at the University of Parma, that fire
K_4_03 — Limitation of Consciousness Motif
One of the most startling cross-cultural patterns in the world's mythological and philosophical traditions: ancient civilizations worldwide — separated by thousands of miles, thousands of years, and entirely independent
K_4_04 — Morphic Resonance and Sheldrake's Hypothesis
Morphic resonance is a hypothesis proposed by biologist Rupert Sheldrake (b. 1942, Cambridge-trained plant physiologist) that proposes nature operates by habits, not fixed laws, and that organisms and systems are influen
K_4_07 — Biofield Science — Electromagnetic and Subtle Energy Research
Biofield science investigates the electromagnetic, acoustic, and hypothesized "subtle energy" fields associated with living organisms, spanning a spectrum from rigorous biophysics to highly contested alternative medicine
K_4_02 — Stigmata, Faith Healing, and Psychosomatic Phenomena
The human body can do things under the influence of belief that should not be physically possible according to conventional medical models. The placebo effect — a "sugar pill" producing measurable physiological changes —
K_4_20 — Non-Neural Learning: Slime Molds, Plants, Bacterial Adaptation
Learning — modifying behavior based on experience — was long thought to require a nervous system. The last twenty years of basal-cognition research have empirically falsified this assumption. Single-celled slime molds (P
K_4_09 — Consciousness, Virtual Reality, and Simulated Environments
Virtual reality (VR) has become one of the most powerful tools for investigating the construction of conscious experience — particularly body ownership, self-location, embodiment, spatial presence, and the boundaries of
K_2_04 — Attention and Awareness
Attention and awareness are intimately linked yet dissociable aspects of consciousness. Attention — the selective processing of some information at the expense of other information — is a fundamental bottleneck in human
K_2_05 — Unconscious Processing
The cognitive unconscious — mental processes that influence behavior, emotion, and decision-making without reaching conscious awareness — is one of the most empirically robust phenomena in psychology and neuroscience. Fa
K_2_21 — Transcranial Brain Stimulation: tDCS, TMS, and Deep Brain Stimulation
Transcranial brain stimulation encompasses a family of techniques that modulate neural activity by delivering energy — magnetic pulses, electrical current, or implanted electrodes — to specific brain regions. The three p
K_2_03 — Neural Correlates of Consciousness
The neural correlates of consciousness (NCC) are the minimal neuronal mechanisms jointly sufficient for any one specific conscious experience. The systematic search for NCCs was launched by Francis Crick and Christof Koc
K_2_19 — Sleep & Dream Neuroscience — Topology of States
Sleep occupies approximately one-third of human life (~26 years for an average lifespan of 79 years) and constitutes a radically altered state of consciousness whose neurobiological mechanisms, evolutionary function, and
K_2_02 — Phantom Limb, Body Schema, and Embodied Consciousness
Phantom limb phenomena — the vivid perception of a limb that has been amputated — provide a unique window into the neural construction of bodily self-awareness and the relationship between consciousness and embodiment. F
K_2_11 — Default Mode Network: Brain at Rest and Self-Referential Consciousness
The Default Mode Network (DMN) is a large-scale brain network that is most active when a person is not focused on the external environment — during mind-wandering, daydreaming, self-referential thought, autobiographical
