Near-Death Episodes Are Brainy, Not Soulful
NDEs are fascinating phenomena, but they don't prove the
existence of the soul.
By Christian Jarrett, 15/10/12, on Psychology Today
Extract:
"Philosophers have grappled with the question of how the mind
is related to the brain for millennia. It’s hard to equate the richness of our
mental lives with the lump of warm meat in our heads, but the view of
mainstream neuroscience is that the mind is an emergent property of the brain.
Without the brain, there is no mind, and every mental experience has an
underlying neurophysiological correlate."
