Mind Beyond Brain explores the implications of empirical evidence challenging the prevailing view that the mind is simply a function of the brain. book that treads the boundaries between science and mysticism in an enlightening way.-Magonia Review of Books Readers who are interested in science, mind, and psi phenomena will find Mind Beyond Brain to be both fascinating and accessible.-Renee L. Mind Beyond Brain represents the next level in the science and Buddhism dialogue. The new perspectives opened up, if we are willing to take evidence of such often off-limits topics seriously, offer significant challenges to dominant explanatory paradigms and raise the prospect that we may be poised for truly revolutionary developments in the scientific investigation of mind. Presti describes the extensive but frequently unacknowledged history of scientific investigation into these phenomena, demonstrating its relevance to questions about consciousness and reality. Presti, with the assistance of other distinguished researchers, explores how evidence for anomalous phenomena-such as near-death experiences, apparent memories of past lives, apparitions, experiences associated with death, and other so-called psi or paranormal phenomena, including telepathy, clairvoyance, and precognition-can influence the Buddhism-science conversation. In Mind Beyond Brain, the neuroscientist David E. The encounter between these two worldviews has spurred ongoing conversations about what science and Buddhism can teach each other about mind and reality. For millennia, philosophers, scientists, and religious thinkers have attempted answers, perhaps none more meaningful today than those offered by neuroscience and by Buddhism. Presti, with the assistance of other researchers, explores how evidence for anomalous phenomena-such as near-death experiences, apparent memories of past lives, apparitions, and other so-called psi or paranormal phenomena, including telepathy, clairvoyance, and precognition-can influence the Buddhism-science conversation.īook Synopsis Among the most profound questions we confront are the nature of what and who we are as conscious beings, and how the human mind relates to the rest of what we consider reality.
