History of Consciousness
1. Psychology began as a science of consciousness.
2. Behaviorists argued about alienating consciousness from psychology.
3. After 1960, mental concepts (consciousness) started reentering psychology.

Levels of Consciousness• Conscious Level: information
about yourself and your environment in awareness
• Nonconscious Level: Body processes controlled by your brain stem and medulla
• Subconscious Level: Information we are not consciously aware of
• Unconscious Level: Events or feelings that are repressed from the conscious mind
![Page 6: 1 States of Consciousness Ms. Simon Chapter 7. 2 States of Consciousness Consciousness and Information Processing Sleep and Dreams Biological Rhythms](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022033022/56649e1b5503460f94b0993f/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)

Neuroscience & Consciousness
Neuroscientists believe that consciousness emerges from the interaction of individual
brain events much like a chord that is created from different musical notes.
![Page 7: 1 States of Consciousness Ms. Simon Chapter 7. 2 States of Consciousness Consciousness and Information Processing Sleep and Dreams Biological Rhythms](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022033022/56649e1b5503460f94b0993f/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)

Consciousness & Information Processing
The unconscious mind processes information simultaneously on multiple tracks, while the
conscious mind processes information sequentially.

Sleep & Dreams
Sleep – state of rest where the brain cycles through 90 minute stages
Mysteries about sleep and dreams have just startedunraveling in sleep laboratories around the world.
![Page 9: 1 States of Consciousness Ms. Simon Chapter 7. 2 States of Consciousness Consciousness and Information Processing Sleep and Dreams Biological Rhythms](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022033022/56649e1b5503460f94b0993f/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

Biological Rhythms
1. Annual cycles2. 28 day cycles- menstrual cycle3. 24 hour cycle= Circadian Rhythm4. 90 minutes cycles- sleep
Biological rhythms are controlled byinternal “biological clocks.”
![Page 10: 1 States of Consciousness Ms. Simon Chapter 7. 2 States of Consciousness Consciousness and Information Processing Sleep and Dreams Biological Rhythms](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022033022/56649e1b5503460f94b0993f/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
13
Biological Rhythms
2. 28-day cycles: The female menstrual cycle averages 28 days. Research shows menstruation may not affect moods.
![Page 11: 1 States of Consciousness Ms. Simon Chapter 7. 2 States of Consciousness Consciousness and Information Processing Sleep and Dreams Biological Rhythms](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022033022/56649e1b5503460f94b0993f/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
14
Biological Rhythms
3. 24-hour cycles: Humans experience 24-hour cycles of varying alertness (sleep), body temperature, and growth hormone secretion.
4. 90-minute cycles: We go through various stages of sleep in 90-minute cycles.
![Page 12: 1 States of Consciousness Ms. Simon Chapter 7. 2 States of Consciousness Consciousness and Information Processing Sleep and Dreams Biological Rhythms](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022033022/56649e1b5503460f94b0993f/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
15
Rhythm of Sleep
Circadian Rhythms occur on a 24-hour cycle and include sleep and wakefulness, which are disrupted during transcontinental flights.
Light triggers the suprachiasmatic nucleus to decrease(morning) melatonin from the pineal gland
and increase (evening) it at night fall.

17
Awake & Alert
During strong mental engagement, the brain exhibits low amplitude and fast,
irregular beta waves (15-30 cps). An awake person involved in a conversation shows
beta activity.
Beta Waves
![Page 15: 1 States of Consciousness Ms. Simon Chapter 7. 2 States of Consciousness Consciousness and Information Processing Sleep and Dreams Biological Rhythms](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022033022/56649e1b5503460f94b0993f/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Do Now:
• Rate your alertness on a scale of 1-10.
• Close your eyes, relax, focus on your breathing.
• Now rate your alertness

AIM: How can we characterize the different stages of sleep?
![Page 17: 1 States of Consciousness Ms. Simon Chapter 7. 2 States of Consciousness Consciousness and Information Processing Sleep and Dreams Biological Rhythms](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022033022/56649e1b5503460f94b0993f/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
20
Awake but Relaxed
When an individual closes his eyes but remains awake, his brain activity slows
down to a large amplitude and slow, regular alpha waves (9-14 cps). A
meditating person exhibits an alpha brain activity.
![Page 18: 1 States of Consciousness Ms. Simon Chapter 7. 2 States of Consciousness Consciousness and Information Processing Sleep and Dreams Biological Rhythms](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022033022/56649e1b5503460f94b0993f/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
21
Slow, regular wave form called theta waves (5-8 cps). A person who is daydreaming
shows theta activity.Vivid hallucinations
Sleep spindles during stage 2
Sleep Stages 1-2
Theta Waves
![Page 19: 1 States of Consciousness Ms. Simon Chapter 7. 2 States of Consciousness Consciousness and Information Processing Sleep and Dreams Biological Rhythms](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022033022/56649e1b5503460f94b0993f/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
22
During deepest sleep (stages 3-4), brain activity slows down. There are large-
amplitude, slow delta waves (1.5-4 cps).Delta sleep (Stage 4): body releases growth
hormone, fortify our immune system
Sleep Stages 3-4
![Page 20: 1 States of Consciousness Ms. Simon Chapter 7. 2 States of Consciousness Consciousness and Information Processing Sleep and Dreams Biological Rhythms](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022033022/56649e1b5503460f94b0993f/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
23
Stage 5: REM Sleep
•After reaching the deepest sleep stage (4), the sleep cycle starts moving backward
towards stage 1. •the brain engages in low- amplitude, fast and regular beta waves (15-40 cps) much
like awake-aroused state.
A person during this sleep exhibitsRapid Eye Movements (REM)
and reports vivid dreams.
![Page 21: 1 States of Consciousness Ms. Simon Chapter 7. 2 States of Consciousness Consciousness and Information Processing Sleep and Dreams Biological Rhythms](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022033022/56649e1b5503460f94b0993f/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
24
REM Sleep is known as “paradoxical sleep”
• Body is paralyzed and still, mind is active
![Page 22: 1 States of Consciousness Ms. Simon Chapter 7. 2 States of Consciousness Consciousness and Information Processing Sleep and Dreams Biological Rhythms](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022033022/56649e1b5503460f94b0993f/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
25
90-Minute Cycles During Sleep
With each 90-minute cycle, stage 4 sleep decreases and the duration of REM sleep
increases.REM Rebound- return to REM more quickly
![Page 23: 1 States of Consciousness Ms. Simon Chapter 7. 2 States of Consciousness Consciousness and Information Processing Sleep and Dreams Biological Rhythms](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022033022/56649e1b5503460f94b0993f/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Which stage of sleep:
• Is characterized by Delta waves?– Stage 4
• Exhibits sleep Spindles?– Stage 2
• Is known as “paradoxical sleep”?• Is when growth hormone is produced?• Increases as the night goes on ?• Is characterized by suppressed muscle

Why do we dream?
All dream researchers believe we need REM sleep. When
deprived of REM sleep and then allowed to sleep,we show increased REM sleep called REM
Rebound.

Aspects of Hypnosis
1. Posthypnotic Suggestion: Suggestion carried out after the subject is no longer hypnotized.
2. Posthypnotic Amnesia: Supposed inability to recall what one experienced during hypnosis.

Drugs and Consciousness
Psychoactive Drug: A chemical substance that alters perceptions and mood (effects
consciousness).
![Page 48: 1 States of Consciousness Ms. Simon Chapter 7. 2 States of Consciousness Consciousness and Information Processing Sleep and Dreams Biological Rhythms](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022033022/56649e1b5503460f94b0993f/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Drugs can affect the central nervous system as agonists- mimic neurotransmitters or
antagonists-block neurotransmitters

61
Dependence & Addiction
Continued use of a psychoactive drug produces tolerance. With repeated exposure to a drug, the drug’s effect lessens. Thus it takes greater quantities to get the desired effect.
![Page 51: 1 States of Consciousness Ms. Simon Chapter 7. 2 States of Consciousness Consciousness and Information Processing Sleep and Dreams Biological Rhythms](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022033022/56649e1b5503460f94b0993f/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
63
Withdrawal & Dependence
1. Withdrawal: Upon stopping use of a drug (after addiction), users may experience the undesirable effects of withdrawal.
2. Dependence: Absence of a drug may lead to a feeling of physical pain, intense cravings (physical dependence), and negative emotions (psychological dependence).

Near-death experiences raise the mind-body issue. Can the mind survive the dying body?
