1. Gärtner et al. (2025) – The Readiness Potential Reflects Detailed Prediction of Action Outcome – Imaging Neuroscience
This study demonstrates that the readiness potential (RP), a neural signal traditionally associated with movement preparation, encodes detailed predictions of the action’s outcome even before execution. This directly supports our concept of Tensional Selves (Eus Tensionais) as bio-affective configurations that precede action through anticipatory metabolic engagement. It aligns with the idea of Existential Metabolism, where the body-brain system simulates potential realities and readies itself for interaction.

2. Schwartz et al. (2025) – Empathy Aligns Brains in Synchrony – iScienceThe authors show that empathic engagement leads to inter-brain neural synchrony, revealing that empathy fosters shared mental states. This reinforces the concept of Human Quorum Sensing (QSH), in which social belonging is not abstract but emerges from dynamic resonance across multiple brains. Empathy here is not just emotional—it is a measurable synchronization that validates our idea of stabilized collective felt presence.

3. Esteves et al. (2025) – Identifying EEG Biomarkers of Sense of Embodiment in Virtual Reality – Frontiers in NeuroergonomicsThis work identifies EEG signatures correlated with the sense of embodiment in VR environments, showing how brain patterns adapt to represent a virtual body. This supports the concept of Body-Territory and Extended Proprioception (Apus)—where the Damasian Mind reconfigures its bodily boundaries according to perceptual experience. The data suggest that “who we are” is always relative to the body we feel ourselves inside of.

4. Hayati et al. (2025) – Inter-brain Synchrony in Real-world and Virtual Reality Search Tasks Using EEG Hyperscanning – Frontiers in Virtual RealityUsing EEG hyperscanning, this study shows how pairs of individuals synchronize their brain activity during joint search tasks. This gives strong evidence for QSH as a functional intersubjective process. These “social brain couplings” suggest that virtual or real-world collaboration builds temporary collective selves, a cornerstone of the Tensional Selves model.

5. Weijs et al. (2025) – Modulating Cortical Excitability and Cortical Arousal by Pupil Self-Regulation – Nature CommunicationsThis research shows that individuals can modulate cortical arousal by voluntarily controlling pupil size through biofeedback. It highlights how interoceptive visual regulation alters attentional states, reinforcing our concept of Metacognition and Fruição (flow-like awareness). It exemplifies how the Damasian Mind can self-regulate without external input, anchoring internal states as sources of action and well-being.

6. Garro et al. (2025) – An EEG-EMG Dataset from a Standardized Reaching Task for Biomarker Research in Upper Limb Assessment – Scientific DataThe dataset combines EEG and EMG recordings during goal-directed motor tasks, revealing how motor intention and muscle activation integrate. This supports our model of Tensional Selves as real-time brain-body networks engaged in the Existential Metabolism of action. It shows that the body is not just moved by thought—it is the thought in motion.

7. Isbell et al. (2025) – Cognitive Electrophysiology in Socioeconomic Context in Adulthood – Scientific DataThis study analyzes how socioeconomic factors modulate neural dynamics and cognition. It demonstrates that economic and social conditions shape the development of distinct cognitive styles and brain patterns. This strongly supports our claim that social experience molds social selves, with each Tensional Self metabolizing the world through its unique environment and memory traces.

8. Haigh et al. (2025) – Modulation of Motor Excitability Reflects Traveling Waves of Neural Oscillations – Cell ReportsThe authors show that motor excitability is modulated by traveling neural oscillations, linking large-scale synchrony with bodily readiness. This affirms our understanding of Fruição as the harmonic flow of embodied intention. The Damasian Mind operates through these oscillatory waves, integrating feeling, intention, and action into a coherent temporal unity.

9. Tomzig et al. (2025) – Is the NASA Nap the Solution for Sleep Inertia in Automated Driving? – Transportation Research Interdisciplinary PerspectivesThis study shows how short, deep naps improve cognitive recovery and vigilance in automated driving. The results align with our theory that REM tonic and phasic states reset proprioceptive and interoceptive processing. These sleep phases dissolve Tensional Selves, allowing the body-mind system to recalibrate and restore subjective and neural balance.

10. Chanoine et al. (2025) – Dataset for Evaluating the Production of Phonotactically Legal and Illegal Pseudowords – Scientific Data
This dataset evaluates how the brain processes pseudowords that are linguistically legal or illegal. It provides insight into how linguistic structures can activate neural templates of familiarity or alienation, directly supporting our idea of Tensional Selves formed through symbolic ritualization. Language not only communicates—it constructs the self through auditory belonging and memory encoding.
