Different brain states are the result of different patterns of neural interaction.

Stevenson's reincarnation research work on children who claimed to remember past lives convinced Almeder that minds are irreducible to brain states.

These experiments call into question the idea that brain states are directly translatable into the contents of Consciousness.

The most prominent example is the identity theory, which says that mental states are brain states.

Mr. Aunger cannot explain why such brain states might arise from one experience rather than another or even give examples of neuronal replications.

That is, the same mental state can be produced from many different physical brain states.

Since it is possible for qualia to have a different relationship with physical brain-states, they cannot be identical to brain states (by 1).

The hidden agenda is that we actually get them into these deep brain states and produce real personality transformation.

The Harvard laboratory is also studying the content of dreams for insights into changing brain states.

One of the problems in a study of consciousness is the hidden way in which conscious states are dependent on brain states.
