Tate Lecture: If minds are not just brains, what might they be?

David Rousseau is a specialist in Systems Practice and an advocate of the value of systems approaches in the study of exceptional experiences. He is the Hon. Treasurer of the SPR and Projects Director of C-FAR.org. He will show how different philosophical presuppositions lead to different ways of interpreting evidence about the nature of minds and consciousness. He will outline which presuppositions have to be changed in order for mind–body dualism and a theory of survival to be scientifically acceptable.
