The Dharasana of Pantanjali & ThurstoneThe Dharasana of Pantanjali & ThurstoneSamkhya: Judgements are the result of the ego (Ahamkara) coloring the intellectual (Buddhi) understanding of the mind organ’s (Manas) processing of the perceptual senses reaction to 5 subtle elements (sound, touch, color, taste, odor potentials) composed of the atoms of the 5 gross elements (ether, air, fire, water, earth)
Patanjali’s sutra 1.2: Yogascitta vritta nirodha.

Samkhya: Judgements are the result of the ego (Ahamkara) coloring the intellectual (Buddhi) understanding of the mind organ’s (Manas) processing of the perceptual senses reaction to 5 subtle elements (sound, touch, color, taste, odor potentials) composed of the atoms of the 5 gross elements (ether, air, fire, water, earth)
Patanjali’s sutra 1.2: Yogascitta vritta nirodha.
.
Science: The Ego represses unwanted desires and impulses during cognitive processing as shown in RT judgments.
Mechanical energy impinges on sensory neurons and is transmitted to the sensory cortex via the thalamus which is involved in attention, memory, learning
Thurstone (1927) The stochastic mind.

The ProcedureThe Procedure1. Using a watch or timer, move into the first pose and hold
the pose for 20 seconds.2. Pause for 30 seconds3. Move into the second pose and hold for 20 seconds.4. Spend 30 seconds contemplating which pose 'FELT' more
difficult. 5. Record your judgment.6. Repeat for 9 more days

Down the Rabbit HoleDown the Rabbit Hole
Sensation = a ln (Pose 1 intensity/Pose 2 Intensity) (Fechner, 1860)
Sensation = k (Pose Intensity)E (Stevens, 1960)
Wave Theory (Link, 1992) postulates that the external and internal worlds are represented as Poisson distributed wave forms and that discrimination and magnitude estimation judgments result from mental processing of wave forms.
Sensation = A ln (Pose 1 Wave Amplitude / Pose 2 Wave Amplitude)
Feeling = (Pose 1 Wave Amplitude / Pose 2 Wave Amplitude) A
