Gain Access To Exploring Frontiers Of The Mind-Brain Relationship Presented By Alexander Moreira-Almeida Presented In Kindle

conscious mind defines human existence, Many consider the brain as a computer, and they attempt to explain consciousness as emerging at a critical, but unspecified, threshold level of complex computation among neurons.
The brainascomputer model, however, fails to account for phenomenal experience and portrays consciousness as an impotent, afterthefact epiphenomenon lacking causal power.
And the brainascomputer concept precludes even the remotest possibility of spirituality, As described throughout the history of humankind, seemingly spiritual mental phenomena including transcendent states, neardeath and outofbody experiences, and pastlife memories have in recent years been well documented and treated scientifically.
In addition, the brainascomputer approach has been challenged by advocates of quantum brain biology, who are possibly able to explain, scientifically, nonlocal, seemingly spiritual mental states.




Exploring Frontiers of the MindBrain Relationship argues against the purely physical analysis of consciousness and for a balanced psychobiological approach.
This thoughtprovoking volume bridges philosophy of mind with science of mind to look empirically at transcendent phenomena, such as mystic states, neardeath

experiences and pastlife memories, that have confounded scientists for decades.
Representing disciplines ranging from philosophy and history to neuroimaging and physics, and boasting a panel of expert scientists and physicians, including Andrew Newberg, Peter Fenwick, Stuart Hameroff, Mario Beauregard, Deepak Chopra, and Chris Clarke the book rigorously follows several lines of inquiry into mindbrain controversies, challenging readers to form their own conclusionsor reconsider previous ones.
Key coverage includes:


Objections to reductionistic materialism from the philosophical and the scientific tradition,
Phenomena and the mindbrain problem,
The neurobiological correlates of meditation and mindfulness,
The quantum soul, a view from physics,
Clinical implications of endoflife experiences,
Mediumistic experience and the mindbrain relationship,
Exploring Frontiers of the MindBrain Relationship is essential reading for researchers and clinicians across many disciplines, including cognitive psychology, personality and social psychology, the neurosciences, neuropsychiatry, palliative care, philosophy, and quantum physics.


"This book, . . brings together some precious observations about the fundamental mystery of the nature of consciousness, . . It raises many questions that serve to invite each of us to be more aware of the uncertainty of our preconceptions about consciousness.
. . This book on the frontiers of mindbody relationships is a scholarly embodiment of creative and openminded science, "
