Episode Notes

In this episode, I interview Mona Sobhani, PhD, the author of Proof of Spiritual Phenomena: A Neuroscientist's Discovery of the Ineffable Mysteries of the Universe. (available at https://monasobhaniphd.com/book/) We discuss Dr. Sobhani's survey of the abundant research on divination, reincarnation, and other topics typically called "spiritual." We also talk about the capabilities and limitations of neuroscience to describe and explain mental phenomena. Dr. Sobhani speaks about her own journey from a mainstream science background to a wider framework while still holding to her scientific skepticism.
