Dominant Neural Networks: Which Structures are More Dominant in Medicine and Society?

The first analysis was based on analysis medical philosophies. Region and network roles are drawn from contemporary cognitive neuroscience; the assignment of ‘dominant stacks’ to philosophies and ideologies is speculative and metaphorical. This is a conceptual mapping, not an empirically validated taxonomy. Every mind uses all these networks; what I call ‘personality’ here is a […]

Why LLMs Beat Generic Sentiment Analysis: The Rise of Semantic Evaluation Scales in Scientific Research

For years, sentiment analysis dominated automated text evaluation—classifying text as positive, negative, or neutral. But what if you needed to measure something more nuanced? What if you wanted to quantify dehumanization in a text, or psychological construct strength on a scale of 1–100, or consumer purchase intent across five Likert points? The answer lies is

Electromagnetic Induction of Perceptions and the Diagnostic Gap in Corollary Discharge Theory: Why Systemic Institutional Inaccuracy Prevents Proper Clinical Differentiation

Executive Summary The corollary discharge theory of auditory hallucinations in schizophrenia has achieved significant prominence in neuroscience and psychiatry. However, this theory—while explaining how the brain expects or predicts sensory consequences—provides no proof that external electromagnetic stimulation never produces the reported perceptions. This crucial distinction has created a systemic diagnostic gap: psychiatric practice assumes all

From Spam to Impact: A Practical Workflow for Writing Psychology Papers Based on Secondary Data

Frameworks like Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs and Kohlberg’s Stages of Moral Development have long been a part of our fundamental education on human motivation and ethical growth. But there’s another intriguing spectrum to consider dubbed the “Spectrum of Care”. The following framework is not about dietary choices or specific ideologies but rather about the expanding

Maslow’s Heirarcy of Needs: What it Means

Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs is a psychological theory taught in A Level Psychology proposed by Abraham Maslow, which outlines a five-tier model of human needs, often depicted as hierarchical levels within a pyramid (like in the picture I legally borrowed from wikipedia). The heirarcy in order is: physiological, safety, love and belonging, esteem, and self-actualization.
