A Neuroscientist’s Discovery of the Ineffable Mysteries of the Universe | Mona Sobhani, Ph.D.

Mona Sobhani, Ph.D., is a cognitive neuroscientist who aggressively defended her scientific worldview until a series of life-altering events caused her to reconsider spirituality, launching her on a two-year investigation into the mysteries of our universe. Along the way, as her interests shifted from pure materialist science to the space where science and spirituality merge, she came to believe that consciousness is the common underlying thread. In this talk, Dr. Sobhani shares the research that transformed her from a diehard materialist to an open-minded spiritual seeker. She also discusses why neuroscience views subjective experience (including that of spirituality) with skepticism and explains away spiritual and mystical states with neural explanations, even though many scientists believe in exceptional human experiences and a higher power. --------------- Buy Mona’s book Proof of Spiritual Phenomena: A Neuroscientist’s Discovery of the Ineffable Mysteries of the Universe: https://amzn.to/3AduveH Mona Sobhani, Ph.D., is a cognitive neuroscientist, author, and entrepreneur.
