The fact that there seems to be a partial overlap between self-processing and processing of others fits well with the old adage of 'putting ourselves in another person's shoes?."

In a series of experiments (among others, priming studies), Elizabeth Pinel and her colleagues found that during...

Be aware of the self-limiting beliefs that we allow to weigh us down and rebuke them daily. You are not the sum of your past, and you are certainly not stuck in the state of consciousness that you now live. If there is one thing that we do know about consciousness, it is that it is constantly changing. Perhaps it is this fluidity that has caused our great challenges, as a species, in pinning it down, but it...

In German probably most people know the saying “Practice creates the master.” While the general idea of this saying immediately feels correct, upon closer look we probably have to admit that only correct practice makes perfect.

If body and environment form constituent parts of what we call 'mind,' it becomes very difficult to see how other animals, with other kinds of bodies, living in other kinds of environments, will 'mind' in ways sufficiently like our own to permit the attribution of humanlike mental states. After all, if the ideas of the umwelt, Gibson’s ecological theory, and embodied sensorimotor theories have...

So it is with pleasure and displeasure. Conscious experience can move at great speed (estimated at 100–150 ms per conscious moment; Edelman & Tononi 2000, Gray 2004), so that it is easy...
