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.

Introduction:
Understanding how we perceive and interpret the movements of other living beings is fundamental to social interaction, survival, and navigating our dynamic environment. Traditional studies of biological motion perception have predominantly employed simplified stimuli, such as point-light displays, which sacrifice ecological validity for experimental control.
Methods:
To overcome this limitation, we created a novel stimulus set featuring ...

Clarity of knowledge and reasoning is necessary in many cases. Yet vagueness in scientific thinking related to surprise, curiosity, "ability to engage with not-knowing" (de Freitas) and abductive reasoning is also a crucially important source of scientific creativity which supplements combinatorial logic when dealing with the already known. Starting from studies by C. S. Peirce ...

This article examines whether generative artificial intelligence (Gen-AI) can be considered creative when evaluated through a dynamic cross-cultural framework of creativity. Integrating the dynamic model of creativity (Corazza et al., 2022) with the four-criterion construct of creativity (Kharkhurin, 2014), the analysis evaluates Gen-AI across four dimensions: originality, effectiveness, aesthetics, and authenticity. The article advances the ...

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 ...
