Chapter 2 – Peering beneath the skull: how the brain works

Chapter 2 provides an overview of the different brain regions and processes that determine human behaviour and presents how the findings of quantum theory have influenced our vision of the human brain and the way in which it acts to control and coordinate our behaviour. Chapter 2 also presents evidence that suggests that universal principles apparent in the Perennial Philosophy and the behaviour of sub-atomic particles are also manifest in the processes that give rise to human behaviour. This offers clues about how to enhance the performance of our brains.
