Here, Dr. Neppe describes his research linking subjective psychic experiences with anomalous functioning of the brain’s temporal lobes. He suggests that veridical psychic experiences point to the likelihood that consciousness can function outside of the brain. He mentions his philosophical position of “unified monism” as an alternative to the philosophical dualism espoused by the great neurologists, Wilder Penfield and Sir John Eccles.
