Documenting and defining emergent phenomenology: theoretical foundations for an extensive research strategy

O. Sandilands and D. M. Ingram

This research conducted by Olivier Sandilands and Daniel M. Ingram highlights the necessity for a deeper understanding of the phenomenological aspects related to consciousness modulation practices like meditation and psychedelics. With insights drawn from 50 publications and over 30,000 subjects, they propose new foundational concepts for this emerging field.

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.
