Lucid Dream Control: Mechanisms, Challenges and Future Directions

Journal of Sleep Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT During lucid dreaming, individuals are aware that they are dreaming and may, in some cases, be able to influence dream content. The effectiveness of both clinical and non‐clinical applications of lucid dreaming likely depends not only on achieving lucidity but also on the ability to exert control over the dream.

, 2015
The scientific study of consciousness is constantly making new discoveries, but one particular aspect of consciousness remains problematic to explain. This is the fact that conscious experiences present themselves to us in a first-person way: there is something it feels like to be the subject of a conscious experience.

Are there norms of rationality for perception? Evaluating experience‐forming processes under Bayesian norms

Mind &Language, EarlyView.
According to the rationality of perception thesis, perceptual processes and experiences can be rationally appraised.

On Theology and the “Overcoming” of Metaphysics: Falque, Betz, Heidegger, and Marion

Modern Theology, EarlyView.
Abstract John Betz and Emmanuel Falque have recently defined “metaphysics” as something intrinsic to the Christian faith.

We argue that neither standard causalists nor their non‐causalist opponents can adequately accommodate a striking asymmetry between ...

Animal Logic: Locke and the Nature of Inference

Noûs, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Can animals reason? If so, what would their reasoning consist in, and how, if at all, would it differ from its human counterpart? On these questions, John Locke stakes out a position that also merits consideration today. I argue that, for Locke, reasoning is a matter of the subject's construing her mental states as support for a conclusion ...

Consciousness and topologically structured phenomenal spaces

Consciousness and Cognition, 2019
