To explore the lived experience of individuals with disordered minds, I am conducting research on Thought Insertion, Thought Broadcasting, and Thought Withdrawal. I investigate the fascinating facet of human mentality that enables an individual to experience a thought as their own, or rather, mine, referred to as a sense of “mineness”. This sense of mineness becomes salient and explicit once a breakdown in one’s consciousness occurs, as in the cases of disordered minds.

To explore the lived experience of individuals with disordered minds, I am conducting research on Thought Insertion, Thought Broadcasting, and Thought Withdrawal. I investigate the fascinating facet of human mentality that enables an individual to experience a thought as their own, or rather, mine, referred to as a sense of “mineness”. This sense of mineness becomes salient and explicit once a breakdown in one’s consciousness occurs, as in the cases of disordered minds.
My research seeks to uncover the layers of mineness that manifest in different ways across certain thought disorders, such as Thought Insertion, Thought Broadcasting, and Thought Withdrawal. These phenomena represent instances where individuals feel as if their thoughts either lack a sense of mineness or possess an enhanced sense of mineness, which are both indicative of a disorderly manifestation of mineness.
By examining these phenomena, my research aims to illuminate the nature of mineness and provide a deeper understanding of what it means for a thought to be experienced as “mine” or “not mine.”. Ultimately, this exploration delves into the complex layers of mineness, using the lens of these thought disorders to address the fundamental question: What does it mean to claim that a thought is experienced as one’s own, as mine?
