🔍👁️🔮 224 - Helané Wahbeh of IONS on Arguments against Materialism and for New Theories of Consciousness

Ultimately, I think there ARE material correlates that describe empirical evidence for non-local consciousness. But first, let's look at why brain-based explanations don't fly.

✨ About This Episode

This week on Future Fossils we speak with Helané Wahbeh (LinkedIn), Director of Research at The Institute of Noetic Sciences, adjunct assistant professor in the Department of Neurology at Oregon Health & Science University, and author of over ninety peer-reviewed publications as well as the book The Science of Channeling. Our main course: a recent review in Frontiers of Psychology entitled, “What if consciousness is not an emergent property of the brain? Observational and empirical challenges to materialistic models”.

In this conversation we take a thirty-thousand foot view of the history and future of the science of consciousness, the socioeconomic impediments to unflinching consciousness research, and the overwhelming weight of transcultural experience that make this such a promising domain for fundamental investigation.

Enjoy, and thanks for listening!
