Self-awareness, self-regulation, and self-transcendence (S-ART) frontiersin.org 7 facts
referenceThe S-ART (Self-awareness, self-regulation, and self-transcendence) framework is a proposed conceptual model that synthesizes traditional Buddhist and contemporary models of mindfulness by focusing on self-processing and underlying neural systems.

claimStudies on meditation states have reported decreased task-related mind-wandering and increased task-related deactivation of neural system (NS) activity.
measurementMeditators with approximately 1000 hours of practice exhibit increased functional connectivity within areas specific to the neural system (NS) network, such as the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC), and regions associated with primary interoceptive awareness.
claimIncreased neural system (NS) activity during goal-directed tasks is associated with excessive rumination and repetitive elaboration, which decreases the efficiency of the attentional system and general information processing capacity, potentially leading to negative health outcomes.
claimStudies investigating psychopathology have reported decreased task-induced deactivation of the neural system (NS) network, which suggests increased mind-wandering and self-reflection during ongoing task demands.
claimExperience sharing or prosocial concern and mentalizing may engage separable neural systems.
Non-Reductive Physicalism - Theories of Consciousness theoriesofconsciousness.com 3 facts
claimGeorge Ellis argues that mental states, as emergent patterns in neural systems, exert genuine causal influence by constraining and guiding neural activity through feedback loops, without violating physical laws.
claimNon-reductive physicalism posits that consciousness emerges from the complex organizational properties of neural systems rather than solely from their physical components.
perspectiveGeorge Ellis argues that mental properties emerge from complex neural systems and exert genuine downward causation on physical processes, emphasizing that higher-level organization creates new causal powers.
The Year of Neuro-Symbolic AI: How 2026 Makes Machines Actually ... cogentinfo.com Dec 30, 2025 2 facts
claimThe MIT-IBM Watson AI Lab asserts that the division of neural and symbolic systems allows AI to learn efficiently while maintaining clarity and logical consistency.
referenceThe MIT-IBM Watson AI Lab models neuro-symbolic AI by positioning neural systems as the sensory layer and symbolic reasoning as the cognitive layer.
The evolution of human-type consciousness – a by-product of ... frontiersin.org 2 facts
claimNeural systems utilize random 'noise'—neural activity not bound to pre-established modes of action—to enable flexibility and generate new response variations, some of which may become new defaults for challenges.
claimInformation Integration Theory (IIT), developed by Giulio Tononi in 2008 and refined by Masafumi Oizumi et al. in 2014, posits that consciousness corresponds to the amount of integrated information within a neural system, where the degree of interconnectedness and complexity in a brain's network determines its level of consciousness.
A Comprehensive Review of Neuro-symbolic AI for Robustness ... link.springer.com Dec 9, 2025 1 fact
claimThe 'Neuro[Symbolic]' architecture incorporates symbolic reasoning directly into the internal mechanisms of neural systems, drawing inspiration from cognitive theories such as Daniel Kahneman’s dual-process model of cognition.
Extent and Health Consequences of Chronic Sleep Loss and ... - NCBI ncbi.nlm.nih.gov 1 fact
claimMultiple neural systems arranged hierarchically in the central nervous system contribute to arousal and insomnia complaints, according to evidence from preclinical and sleep neuroimaging studies.
Neural-Symbolic AI: The Next Breakthrough in Reliable and ... hu.ac.ae Dec 29, 2025 1 fact
claimThe integration of symbolic reasoning into large neural systems is pedagogically difficult, and the lack of standard benchmarks for these systems means development is still in progress.
Quantum Theory of Consciousness - Scirp.org. scirp.org 1 fact
claimThe authors of 'Quantum Theory of Consciousness' argue that neural systems, membranes, microtubules, DNA, and living structures have greater similarity to crystals, semiconductor materials, superconductors, lasers, and superfluids than to classical mechanical systems, necessitating the use of quantum physics to study them.
