The Neuroscientist Who Believed Mediums | Dr. Arnaud Delorme
About this episode
Dr. Arnaud Delorme discusses his research on consciousness and mediums, revealing surprising findings about brain activity.
What if your brain doesn't produce consciousness any more than a radio produces the music? My guest today is Dr. Arnaud Delorme, a computational neuroscientist at UC San Diego and the Institute of Noetic Sciences. He wires up Tibetan monks and mediums to see what actually happens in their brains. When a medium connects with a loved one on the other side, he expected brain activity to spike. Instead, it went almost silent. The more accurate they were, the more their working memory shut down. As if the information wasn't coming from inside them at all. Arnaud started asking "why am I here?" at 11 years old. He has spent decades risking his career to challenge the idea that your thoughts and choices mean nothing. This conversation is about data, non-local consciousness, and what happens when science finally looks beyond the skull. 00:00 The 11-Year-Old Who Asked "Why Am I Here?" 03:09 Welcome Arnaud Delorme 04:12 From Firefighter to Neuroscientist 07:00 The Reductionist Pyramid (And Its Limits) 12:36 Quantum Mechanics: Shut Up and Calculate 16:27 How Science Finally Opened Up to Consciousness 18:33 EEGLAB and Studying Mediums 22:45 Split-Brain Patients and the "Real Illusion" 25:54…
