Individuals with pronounced self-transcendence values have been shown to put greater weight on the long-term consequences of their actions when making decisions. Using functional magnetic resonance imaging, we investigated the neural mechanisms underlying the evaluation of events occurring several decades in the future as well as the role of core values in these processes. Thirty-six participan...

In On a theory of computation and complexity over the real numbers ... , Bull. Amer. Math. Soc. 21 (1989), 1-46, Blum, Shub, and Smale investigated computability over the reals and over ordered rings in general. They showed that over the reals, output sets of machines are recursively enumerable (i.e., halting sets of machines). It is asked in the aforementioned paper which ordered rings have th...

Self-transcendence changes how older adults perceive themselves, their relationships with others, the material world, and the metaphysical or spiritual dimension. It is associated with multiple indicators of well-being. The purpose of this pilot study (N = 20) was to examine the feasibility and effectiveness of a psychoeducational intervention to increase self-transcendence and well-being in ol...

Let D be a division algebra over a base field k. The homological transcendence degree of D, denoted by HtrD, is defined to be the injective dimension of the algebra D⊗k D ◦. We show that Htr has several useful properties which the classical transcendence degree has. We extend some results of Resco, Rosenberg, Schofield and Stafford, and compute Htr for several classes of division algebras. The ...

The predisposition of human beings toward spiritual feeling, thinking, and behaviors is measured by a supposedly stable personality trait called self-transcendence. Although a few neuroimaging studies suggest that neural activation of a large fronto-parieto-temporal network may underpin a variety of spiritual experiences, information on the causative link between such a network and spirituality...

The late-life developmental process of self-transcendence shapes elders' perspectives on self, others, the nature of this world, and of a dimension beyond the here and now. This qualitative pilot study evaluated the Psychoeducational Approach to Transcendence and Health (PATH) Program, a psychoeducational intervention to promote self-transcendence and well-being in community-dwelling women at a...
