Heart–Brain Consciousness Transition Model (HCTM): Phenomenological and Physiological Framework

This preprint presents the Heart–Brain Consciousness Transition Model (HCTM), a novel framework integrating phenomenological observations and physiological data to understand human consciousness. The model explores the interaction between conscious and subconscious brain regions, heart-brain functional connectivity, and transitional conscious states, including consciousness fading and return. High-resolution first-person observations provide empirical insights into the dynamics of consciousness, such as the “creation zone” in the brain and the wave-like movement of conscious presence. HCTM aims to bridge subjective experience with objective measurement, offering a scientifically grounded perspective that can guide further research in neuroscience and consciousness studies.
