Integrating Consciousness Science with Cognitive Neuroscience: An Introduction to the Special Focus

Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 36(8), P. 1541 - 1545

Published: Jan. 1, 2024

Consciousness science is experiencing a coming-of-age moment. Following 3 decades of sustained efforts by relatively small group consciousness researchers, the field has seen exponential growth over past 5 years. It increasingly recognized that although investigation subjective experiences difficult task, modern neuroscience need not and cannot shy away from challenge peeling mysteries conscious experiences. In June 2023, with joint support U.S. National Institutes Health Science Foundation, 3-day workshop was held at Bethesda, MD, campus Health, convening experts whose work focuses primarily on problems consciousness, or an adjacent field, to discuss current state consider most fruitful avenues for future research. This Special Focus features empirical theoretical contributions some invited speakers workshop. Here, I will cover scope workshop, content this Focus, advocate stronger bridges between other subdisciplines cognitive neuroscience.

Forgetting unwanted memories in sleep

Trends in Cognitive Sciences, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 28(10), P. 881 - 883

Published: Aug. 20, 2024

Memories are sometimes best forgotten, but how do our brains weaken unwanted details of the past? We propose a theoretical framework in which memory reactivation during sleep supports adaptive forgetting. This mnemonic rebalancing underpins affective benefits by ensuring that memories remain aligned with emotional goals.

Enacting the mind/body connection: the role of self-induced placebo mechanisms

Humanities and Social Sciences Communications, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 11(1)

Published: July 29, 2024

Placebo effects are beneficial mind-body outcomes derived from beliefs or expectations, not explainable as the consequence of active medical treatments. These phenomena have long been considered a result external manipulation, generally obtained with deceptive strategies (e.g., fake pills) suggestions. Open-label placebos showed promising results, but even in that case, individual has passive role: they actively engaged promoting effect. We propose framework to investigate potential for individuals self-induce placebo through conscious and deliberate psychological mechanisms, such mental imagery, somatic focusing, perceived control. mechanisms may be tested combination open-label treatments, well standalone strategies. The push boundaries current research place these self-induced alongside expectations learning key players effect, ultimately elevating individual's role shaping their health.
