On the Ontology of Composites in Abhidharma Buddhism

Philosophy and Phenomenological Research, Volume 112, Issue 3, Page 679-693, May 2026.

EEG Brain Rhythms During Resting‐State Wakefulness and Sleep in Elderly Expert Meditators

Journal of Sleep Research, Volume 35, Issue 2, April 2026.
Compared to controls, elderly expert meditators exhibited (1) more preserved resting‐state brain activity, (2) less altered sleep architecture, and (3) EEG features indicative of heightened cognitive states during NREM sleep. Importantly, several of the metrics that differed between groups also showed consistent correlations with meditation expertise ...

Decoding the Self: Single‐Trial Prediction of Self‐Boundary Meditation States From Magnetoencephalography Recordings

Human Brain Mapping, Volume 47, Issue 1, January 2026.
Meditation‐induced self‐boundary dissolution can be predicted from magnetoencephalography recordings using Lempel‐Ziv complexity and oscillatory power as neural markers. We demonstrate significantly above‐chance classification of altered self‐experience on a single‐trial basis and show that it is mediated by complex activation patterns across brain ...

Exploratory Multiomics Profiling Reveals ACTN4‐Centric Cytoskeletal Failure and Environmental Arsenic Association in Morphologically Defined Oligoasthenoteratospermia Subtypes

Andrologia, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Background Oligoasthenoteratospermia (OAT) represents a major cause of male infertility. The molecular mechanisms underlying sperm morphological defects, particularly their potential interplay with environmental exposure‐associated molecular alterations, remain poorly understood and warrant exploratory investigation.
