In an artist who experiences vivid visual imagery during meditation, occipital gamma power (30-70 Hz) increased during the deepest meditation stages and was higher during visions than during non-vision periods. Alpha-frequency brain stimulation made her images sharper, shorter, and more frequent, but the sharpened images were too detailed for her art. Gamma and sham stimulation had no effect on imagery content. These findings suggest occipital gamma may be a neural marker of spontaneous visual imagery in experienced meditators.

The YaKM (I am the Thinking Qualia) model is an integrative interdisciplinary framework that describes a human being as a multilevel system including environment, interpersonal relations, biology, internal mechanisms, and behavior. Its central concept is an emergent center of personality with subjective qualia capable of conscious self-editing. Version 11.4 outlines the evolutionary development of this center from instinctual forms through a population bottleneck, a medical contour for analyzing health risks, two branches for analysis and behavioral correction, an ethical filter, and an AI core. The model argues that free will is an achieved capacity realized through awareness of one's own conditioning, termed the paradox of conscious determinism.

A theoretical model, version 11.1, introduces the central concept of YaKM (I am the Thinking Qualia), replacing the term 'soul' with 'qualia' to align with neurophenomenology and cognitive science. The model retains a five-level architecture (External Environment, Interpersonal Systems, Biology, Internal Mechanisms, Behavior) and two branches (analysis and prediction; correction and virtue development). It details mechanisms of resistance to change, distinguishes surface learning from deep editing, and identifies internally contradictory dogmas as a source of psychopathology. The Ethical Filter includes principles of informed YaKM, crisis protection, advance public information, multiple independent sources, and prohibition of covert application.

The article examines the phenomenology of mysticism in Gerda Walther's work and the theological anthropology in Edith Stein's writings. Walther highlights key aspects of applying the phenomenological method to spiritual experience and inner experiences. Stein offers a theological anthropology that examines faith and religious experience in the context of human existence and the relationship with God, providing a conceptual basis for understanding faith's role in the modern world. The article considers their thoughts and contributions to philosophy and religious studies.
