Florencio Serrano Prior is an independent researcher whose work focuses on clinical psychology, neuropsychology, psychometrics, cognitive neuroscience, contemplative science, and integrative theoretical models for the behavioural and psychological sciences. His research program develops six interconnected lines: the Integrated Harmful Agency Model (IHAM/MADI), the MADI-RI framework of institutional reciprocity, the ERIN-MADI scale and Reciprocity Asymmetry Coefficient (RAC), the Metabiopsychosocial Model (MBPS), IMAG as a candidate neurocognitive technology for conscious imagination and mental simulation, Meditative Grounded Integration (MGI), and IC-NF as a closed-loop experimental validation framework integrating contemplative practice, neurofeedback and HRV biofeedback. Together, these lines aim to advance falsifiable models of harmful agency, institutional reciprocity, suffering, transformation, conscious imagination and neurocognitive self-regulation.
The programme follows open science principles through ORCID, Zenodo and the Open Science Framework (OSF), providing DOI-registered preprints, open documentation and resources supporting methodological refinement and future empirical validation.
Research Mission
The research mission is to develop theoretically grounded, operationally defined and empirically testable models addressing harmful agency, institutional reciprocity, human suffering, conscious imagination and contemplative neurocognitive transformation. The program integrates clinical psychology, psychometrics, cognitive neuroscience, social psychology, contemplative science and open-science methodology, with a strong emphasis on falsifiability, construct validity, preregistration and future empirical validation.
Research Program in Harmful Agency, Institutional Reciprocity, Metabiopsychosocial Transformation, and Conscious Imagination
1.
Integrated Harmful Agency Model (IHAM/MADI)
A multilevel theoretical framework for understanding harmful agency through psychological, cognitive, neurobiological, social and institutional mechanisms.
DOI
doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.20396855
2.
Institutional Reciprocity Framework (MADI-RI), ERIN-MADI and RAC
A framework examining institutional reciprocity, neurodivergence and the asymmetric distribution of adaptive obligations across organizational and institutional contexts.
DOI

3.
Metabiopsychosocial Model (MBPS)
An interdisciplinary framework integrating biopsychosocial theory, clinical psychology, contemplative science and psychological research to study human suffering, adaptation and transformation.
DOI
doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.20448659
4.
Conscious Imagination, Creativity, and Mental Simulation (IMAG): A Candidate Neurocognitive Technology
A theoretical and methodological framework proposing conscious imagination as a candidate neurocognitive technology, integrating predictive processing, active inference, construct validation and future empirical validation pathways.
DOI
doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.21065764
5.
Meditative Grounded Integration (MGI): A Neurocognitive Evidence Framework for Shiné, Lhaktong and Mahamudra
A neurocognitive evidence framework integrating contemplative neuroscience with the Tibetan contemplative sequence of Shiné, Lhaktong and Mahamudra, providing a sequential evidence model supporting the scientific foundations of IMAG.
DOI
doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.21174445
6.
IC-NF: Closed-Loop Conscious Imagination, Contemplative Practice and Multimodal Neurofeedback
An experimental framework integrating conscious imagination, contemplative practice, predictive processing, multimodal neurofeedback (EEG, fMRI and HRV biofeedback), and closed-loop validation to support future psychometric, mechanistic and randomized controlled research.
