The Llewellyn Encyclopedia

Term: Mind-Brain Connection

DEFINITIONS

Mind-Brain Connection:

Understanding that the brain does not produce consciousness but receives it, filters it, and modifies it based its own conditioning. The physical brain is readily modified through its environment and cultural conditioning—including education and religious and social teachings to deny the paranormal experience.

Carl Llewellyn Weschcke
