More About This Show On Brain Science With Dr. Jay Lombard
During our interview, I asked Jay about the metaphysical questions that he address in the book Mind of God and them being a jumping-off point for exploring the brain, and how we are now able to see “in the seat of the soul.”
Dr. Jay Lombard explains, “What’s interesting about diffusion tensor imaging studies, is that when you do them, and you’re looking at consciousness, right, so people have studied consciousness through imaging studies, and they’ve demonstrated that in consciousness itself, there’s an area of the brain called the default mode network, which is kind of like the ego. It’s kind of what defines Jay Lombard is Jay Lombard is kind of what defines you as you.
They’ve done studies in depression, and schizophrenia, and all sorts of TBI patients to look at diffusion tensor imaging in normal controls versus patients who are affected by psychiatric diseases. And one can see actually these defects or interruptions in the flow of the circulation of water in the brain.
One of the discoverers of this technology is a professor named Dr. Damadian, who actually discovered MRI scans back in the 70s. I just met him recently, a couple of months ago. And we were talking about DTI studies. And I said to him, I said, you know, DTI is the closest we’re gonna get to identify, you know, what we call the soul or the or the ethers, as Isaac Newton, once called the soul is these kinds of ethers that were unmeasurable.
But the fact that we now have state of the art imaging, we can see not just the structure of the brain, but the flow of these networks is too close I think we come to the analogy of the idea, that the tree of life if you will, that the brain is not just the leaves and the flowers, but the water that flows from the roots to enliven the brain. Once those stop, there’s no more life.”
