Season Four Back To School Series Episode 2 - Science Class The Neuroscience of Mediumship

Today, we’re continuing our "Back to School" Series with a visit to Science class and the Neuroscience of Mediumship!

In this special episode, we dive deep into the fascinating intersection of neuroscience and spirituality with Kaylee, a neuroscience student from Barnard University. Introduced to me by her aunt, medium and life coach Mary Beth Thomsen, Kaylee shares groundbreaking research that explores the links between auditory hallucinations in mediums and clinical conditions like schizophrenia. Joined by guest host Brooke Carey, we explore how spiritual experiences and clinical hallucinations may be more closely connected than we realize. From culture and selective attention to the potential therapeutic applications of her findings, this conversation shines a light on the innovative frontiers of brain research. Tune in as we unravel the science behind hearing from Spirit and how neuroscience is beginning to unlock the mysteries of mediumship.
