A ten-aspect research-pointer compendium reading Bharata's karaṇa vocabulary against the psychological, neuropsychological, and neuroscientific literatures — written for scholars in medicine, neuroscience, astro science, genetics, and the allied sciences seeking a structured entry point into this cross-disciplinary terrain.
The companion white papers of this monograph established a six-register method (physiological, psychological, neurological, astrophysical, astro-scientific, neuro-psychological) and a nine-aspect technological extension for reading Bharata's integrated theory of nāṭya. This third part narrows and deepens that method specifically for the 108 karaṇas, organizing the psychological, neuropsychological, and neuroscientific literatures into ten aspects: cognitive-perceptual architecture; motor learning and skill acquisition; neuropsychological correlates of the sāttvika register; motor-systems neuroscience; multisensory and predictive-processing neuroscience; developmental and expertise psychology; consciousness studies and absorbed states; clinical and rehabilitative applications; a structured cross-disciplinary research agenda addressed explicitly to medical, neuro, astro, and allied-science scholars; and a closing methodological glossary. Each aspect distinguishes classically attested claims, modern scholarly findings, and this paper's own structural-synthetic proposals, and closes with concrete, testable research questions rather than settled conclusions.
