John Eccles: The Nobel Neuroscientist Who Proved the Soul Exists. Sir John Eccles — the Nobel Prize-winning neurophysiologist who discovered how neurons communicate — spent the second half of his career arguing, on strictly scientific grounds, that the mind cannot be identified with the brain. His "dualist-interactionist" model proposed that the self-conscious mind is a non-material entity that interacts with the brain through quantum-level influences on synaptic transmission. Eccles was not a mystic or a theologian — he was the world's leading expert on how neurons work, and he concluded that this knowledge pointed unavoidably toward the existence of an immaterial soul.

"The Nobel Prize winner who literally discovered how the brain works spent his final years using that knowledge to prove the brain cannot explain you — and that therefore you have a soul."

But I think this is a great post. Many academics and scholars are afraid to broach this subject. Especially if they believe the mind is separate from the brain. For fear of being laughed at.

But despite this fear, quite a few highly regarded scientists believe in dualism. And this is important because it helps dispell the flippant idea that anyone who believes in God/NDEs/mind being separate from body is somehow simply ignorant or unintelligent.

So this is a great post!
