Abstract

This paper argues for the need for more extensive research into the phenomenology associated with practices that modulate conscious experience, such as meditation and psychedelics. The authors review 50 recent publications, synthesizing reports from over 30,000 subjects, to create an inventory of phenomena, experiences, and effects. They critically discuss existing terminology and propose "emergence" and "emergent phenomenology" as foundational concepts for this nascent research field, advocating for specialized terminologies to ground future work.
