Temporal EEG Signatures of Meditation Experience
Clinically significant reduction of persistent late-onset auditory verbal hallucinations with adjunctive repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation
Late-onset auditory verbal hallucinations (AVH) present diagnostic and therapeutic challenges, particularly when antipsychotic treatment is limited by poor tolerability. We report a case of a 75-year-old woman with de novo AVH temporally related to hemp oil use, in the general context of longstanding hearing impairment. Symptoms persisted and progressively worsened over 12 months despite discontinuation and antipsychotic treatment, resulting in m…
Beyond the attention economy, towards an ecology of attending. A manifesto
We endorse policymakers’ efforts to address the negative consequences of the attention economy’s technology but add that these approaches are often limited in their criticism of the systemic context of human attention. Starting from Buddhist philosophy, we advocate a broader approach: an ‘ecology of attending’ that centers on conceptualizing, designing, and using attention (1) in an embedded way and (2) focused on the alleviating of suffering. Wi…

Chinese translation and validation of the Near-Death Experience Content scale
Currently, the Chinese version of the NDE-C scale is ready for use in research practice in the context of Eastern culture, to screen people who have experienced an NDEs(-like) and to quantify their subjective experience, promoting further NDEs-related research in China
Study protocol
Background: The significant lack of rehabilitation prognostic data is the main reason that affects the treatment decision-making and ethical issues of patients with disorders of consciousness (DoC). Currently, the clinic's consciousness assessment tools cannot satisfy DoC patients' follow-up needs. Objective: The purpose of this study is to construct a sensitive, professional, and simple telephone follow-up scale for DoC patients to follow up on …
Mood assessments of family caregivers of patients with severe brain injury in China
The Near-Death Experience Content (NDE-C) scale
Health-related quality of life after traumatic brain injury
By transforming the QOLIBRI-OS into utility scores, we enabled the application in economic evaluations and in summary measures of population health, which may be used to inform decision-makers on the best interventions and strategies for TBI patients
Neurochemical models of near-death experiences
Opportunities and challenges for a maturing science of consciousness
Fantasy Proneness Correlates With the Intensity of Near-Death Experience
Little is known about the personality characteristics of those who have experienced a "Near-Death Experience" (NDE). One interesting candidate is fantasy proneness. We studied this trait in individuals who developed NDEs in the presence (i.e., classical NDEs) or absence (i.e., NDEs-like) of a life-threatening situation. We surveyed a total of 228 individuals. From those, 108 qualified as NDE experiencers (i.e., Greyson NDE scale total score ≥7): …
Intensity and memory characteristics of near-death experiences
Near-Death Experiences in patients with locked-in syndrome
From armchair to wheelchair
Self-consciousness in non-communicative patients
Detecting Awareness in the Vegetative State
We used functional magnetic resonance imaging to demonstrate preserved conscious awareness in a patient fulfilling the criteria for a diagnosis of vegetative state. When asked to imagine playing tennis or moving around her home, the patient activated predicted cortical areas in a manner indistinguishable from that of healthy volunteers.
