Mapping cognition across lab and daily life using Experience-Sampling
Understanding cognition in daily life depends on mapping mechanistic accounts from the lab onto real world behaviour. • Applying PCA to experience sampling generated a ‘thought space’ that integrated data from both contexts in an unbiased manner. • The ‘thought space’ effectively organised activities in daily life and tasks in the lab with corresponding features. • Our study shows experience sampling supports richer models of cognition that encom…
Patterns of ongoing thought in the real world
A Gaba Interneuron Deficit Model of the Art of Vincent van Gogh
Vincent van Gogh was one of the most influential artists of the Western world, having shaped the post-impressionist art movement by shifting its boundaries forward into abstract expressionism. His distinctive style, which was not valued by the art-buying public during his lifetime, is nowadays one of the most sought after. However, despite the great deal of attention from academic and artistic circles, one important question remains open: was van…
The entropic brain
Entropy is a dimensionless quantity that is used for measuring uncertainty about the state of a system but it can also imply physical qualities, where high entropy is synonymous with high disorder. Entropy is applied here in the context of states of consciousness and their associated neurodynamics, with a particular focus on the psychedelic state. The psychedelic state is considered an exemplar of a primitive or primary state of consciousness tha…
Neural correlates of the psychedelic state as determined by fMRI studies with psilocybin
Psychedelic drugs have a long history of use in healing ceremonies, but despite renewed interest in their therapeutic potential, we continue to know very little about how they work in the brain. Here we used psilocybin, a classic psychedelic found in magic mushrooms, and a task-free functional MRI (fMRI) protocol designed to capture the transition from normal waking consciousness to the psychedelic state. Arterial spin labeling perfusion and bloo…
