Effects of Mindfulness Meditation on Self-Transcendent States: Perceived Body Boundaries and Spatial Frames of Reference

Mindfulness, 2020
Mindfulness training is believed to encourage self-transcendent states, but little research has examined this hypothesis. This study examined the effects of mindfulness training on two phenomenological features of self-transcendence: (1) perceived body ...

Boundary Vector Cells Encode a Future‐Biased Spectrum of Positions in the Rat

Hippocampus, Volume 36, Issue 4, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Spatial tuning is a hallmark property of neural firing in the hippocampal formation. Yet, that tuning is often less well correlated with the instantaneous current position of an animal than it is with an integrated version of the past or future state of the animal.

The flexible, the stereotyped and the in‐between: putting together the combinatory tool use origins hypothesis

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1235-1254, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Tool use research has long made the distinction between tool using that is considered learned and flexible, and that which appears to be instinctive and stereotyped. However, animals with an inherited tool use specialisation can exhibit flexibility, while tool use that is spontaneously innovated can be limited in its expression and facilitated

Perception of distance during self-motion depends on the brain's internal model of the terrain.

PLoS ONE
The body's geometrical relationship with the terrain is important for depth perception of human and non-human terrestrial animals. Static human observers in the dark employ the brain's internal model of the terrain, the intrinsic bias, to represent the ...

What Counts as an Environment in Memory Research? Conceptualizing Environment Across Memory Traditions

WIREs Cognitive Science, Volume 17, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
This review shows that environment–memory research is divided not only by method, but by different definitions of what an environment is through the comparison of category‐, feature‐, and context‐based traditions. ABSTRACT Research on memory and the physical environment has expanded across neuroscience, environmental psychology, and spatial cognition ...

Navigating space and the developing mind

Frontiers in Psychology
In this article, we review the extensive and complex fabric of literature concerning the ontogenesis of spatial representations from earliest childhood to the elderly, including normal and abnormal aging (dementia and Alzheimer’s disease).

The Dorsal‐Ventral Account of Picture Perception

Philosophy Compass, Volume 21, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
ABSTRACT What is the nature of our perception of pictures? Philosophers intrigued by this question, and adopting a naturalistic perspective, have turned to findings from visual neuroscience to answer it. This perspective seeks to address the question within the framework of the Two Visual Systems Model, which provides a specific anatomo‐functional ...

Reference frames in virtual spatial navigation are viewpoint dependent

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2014
Spatial navigation in the mammalian brain relies on a cognitive map of the environment. Such cognitive maps enable us, for example, to take the optimal route from a given location to a known target.

Framing of grid cells within and beyond navigation boundaries

eLife, 2017
Grid cells represent an ideal candidate to investigate the allocentric determinants of the brain’s cognitive map. Most studies of grid cells emphasized the roles of geometric boundaries within the navigational range of the animal. Behaviors such as novel

Supplementing, restructuring, resisting: Maps of Underground space in poetry, embodied performativity, and the “misrepresentationalism” of Harry Beck's Tube diagram

Orbis Litterarum, Volume 81, Issue 2, Page 140-154, April 2026.
Abstract This article considers mental and poetic “maps” of London in their respective relationships to Harry Beck's famous 1930s “circuit‐diagram” map of the underground railway system. This iconic image distorts and radically stylizes London geography; thus, it functions as a tool for planning individual travel itineraries but leads to a ...
