Attention: filtering of attentional resources (e.g., ADHD)
Perception: filtering of sensory information (e.g., auditory fMRI, figure-ground perception)
Memory: filtering of past experiences (e.g., hippocampal neurons tracking moments)
Brain Mechanisms:
Neural substrates: regions of the brain involved in reality filtering (e.g., prefrontal cortex, insular cortex, posterior cingulate cortex)
Neural activity: changes in neural activity associated with reality filtering (e.g., increased theta power, differential responses to input and conceptual modality)
Development and Disorders:
Developmental disorders: disorders of reality filtering in childhood and adolescence (e.g., autism spectrum disorder)
Neurological disorders: disorders of reality filtering in adulthood (e.g., Alzheimer’s disease)
Preterm birth: impact of preterm birth on reality filtering (e.g., neurocognitive profile of adults born very preterm)
Philosophical and Conceptual Issues:
Ontology: ontological commitment and ontology alignment (e.g., ontology components, ontology across disciplines)
Philosophy: philosophical implications of reality filtering (e.g., Quine classes and objects, philosophy on a circle)
Ethics: ethical implications of reality filtering (e.g., reality winner prison)
Applications:
Clinical interventions: clinical interventions to improve reality filtering in mental health disorders (e.g., reward circuitry function in autism, processing fluency theory of aesthetic pleasure)
Performance enhancement: enhancement of reality filtering in cognitive and performance domains (e.g., fractionating the anterior temporal lobe, truth and consequences of perceptual category learning in autism spectrum disorder)
Interdisciplinary research: parallels and contrasts in Indian and Western philosophy, physicists identify unique signature to confirm quark-gluon plasma in Universe.
