Towards a unified, yet pluralistic, account of Capgras' delusion.
Cogn Neuropsychiatry
January 2025
Department of Sociology, Philosophy and Anthropology, University of Exeter, Exeter, UK.
Introduction: In this paper, we present a new way of thinking about what is going on in cases of Capgras delusion which is a more varied presentation than represented in the literature. We do this by reflecting on the fundamental nature of identification, and then draw some lessons from this for understanding misidentification in general and Capgras delusion cases in particular. What emerges, through the conceptual tool of "mental files", is a unified, yet pluralistic, account of delusional misidentification of the Capgras type.

Consciousness in non-REM-parasomnia episodes.
J Sleep Res
February 2025
The Netherlands Institute for Neuroscience, Amsterdam, The Netherlands.
Sleepwalking and related parasomnias are thought to result from incomplete awakenings out of non-rapid eye movement (non-REM) sleep. Non-REM parasomnia behaviours have been described as unconscious and automatic, or related to vivid, dream-like conscious experiences. Similarly, some observations have suggested that patients are unresponsive during episodes, while others that they can interact with their surroundings.
