Current Psychology. 2025. Vol. 44. P. 1962–1975.
Salikova D., Kosonogov V.
This mini review explores the complex nature of emotional experiences, extending beyond traditional emotion theories to encompass a spectrum of complex emotional states. It investigates the psychophysiological underpinnings of nuanced emotions such as awe, the sublime, and aesthetic emotions; it contains brief explanations for phenomena such as -, near-death experiences , and out-of-body experiences. A significant focus is placed on the role of emerging technologies, particularly Virtual Reality (VR), in facilitating induction of these profound emotional experiences. The immersive nature of VR offers unique avenues for inducing complex emotions, underscoring its potential for therapeutic applications. Special attention is given to the potential of VR to induce mystical experiences, particularly those resembling psychedelic effects. The review advocates for an expanded emotion research paradigm, recognizing the value of complex emotions in psychological theory and therapeutic interventions.

In video games, the participants are active agents who pursue various goals within gaming environments that increasingly resemble real life. As a result, video games are increasingly offering tools for neuroimaging studies aiming to elucidate the neural basis of human perceptual, cognitive, and emotional functions. Here, we review these studies. The first studies used computerized ...

Mammals from arid ecosystems face distinct physiological challenges: water scarcity and unpredictable food availability require the integration of energy storage, maintenance of water balance, and flexible switching between nutrients. Our previous study demonstrated lower fasting blood glucose levels in the desert rodent Acomys cahirinus (African spiny mouse), which also possesses a unique regenerative ability. The aim of ...

This article investigates the phenomenon of enduring informal multi-age communities contributing to adolescent upbringing. The conditions for the establishment and the factors ensuring the endurance of such communities are identified through the example of three organizations: the “Nadezhda” unit, the Children and Youth Organization “Ostrov Sokrovishch” (Treasure Island), and the “Karavella” (Caravel) unit. As for ...

Background:
Delay discounting refers to the tendency to choose sooner, smaller rewards over larger, later rewards. Many previous studies link this tendency positively to reward sensitivity, yet the specific mechanisms behind this association remain poorly understood. Reward sensitivity may relate to delay discounting through at least three possible pathways: increased sensitivity to reward size, increased sensitivity ...

Functional literacy—the ability to apply reading, mathematical, and scientific knowledge in authentic contexts as operationalized by the PISA framework—is a key predictor of educational attainment, labour-market outcomes, and economic growth. Despite extensive behavioral-genetic research on cognitive ability, the heritability of competency-based literacy measures remains largely unexamined, particularly outside Western populations. The present study addresses this ...

Introduction:
As cities continue to grow, access to natural environments is becoming more limited, contributing to increased stress levels in urban populations. Panoramic 360° videos provide a creative and scalable means of simulating natural environments, potentially reducing stress in city residents under controlled settings. Here, we examined whether short immersive experiences in different urban environments support ...

Letter recognition is assumed to involve several levels of analysis, including coarse tuning for category and novelty and more fine tuning for specific features, related to letter orientation. We employed an oddball fast periodic visual stimulation (FPVS) paradigm with magnetoencephalography (Elekta VectorView, 306 sensors) to study neural discrimination responses in the source space. Using contrasts ...

High-dimensional tabular data are common in biomedical and clinical research, yet conventional machine learning methods often struggle in such settings due to data scarcity, feature redundancy, and limited generalization. In this study, we systematically evaluate Synolitic Graph Neural Networks (SGNNs), a framework that transforms high-dimensional samples into sample-specific graphs by training ensembles of low-dimensional pairwise ...

The review provides an analysis of modern cognitive psychological theories of emotions and neural basis
of mechanisms standing behind retention of emotional information in working memory. The tendency seen
in modern neurocognitive theories is characterized by the rejection of localization for any psychological

networks connecting ...
