| 0:00.0 | Once you get outside of the body and you're in whatever it is, the field of consciousness, |
| 0:06.1 | we'll just call it, that literally anything is possible. |
| 0:10.7 | Whatever you can imagine, whatever you can dream up is an option. |
| 0:15.4 | There's a way we can analyze brainwave data to determine or at least give us an idea |
| 0:20.2 | if the person had a traumatic brain injury. |
| 0:22.5 | A much higher percentage than you would expect come up positive on that metric. |
| 0:27.8 | You have to do something with it. |
| 0:29.2 | Just because the door is cracked open, if you just kind of ignore it or you have one experience |
| 0:34.2 | and then don't do anything further, it's going to close back down. |
| 0:44.5 | Hi, I'm Dr. Amy Robbins and welcome to life, death, and the space between. |

| 1:22.2 | Jeff is a PhD, BCN, and the founder and director of Psych mind science and the Neuromeditation Institute in |
| 1:30.5 | Eugene Oregon. So he's a licensed psychologist and he's board certified in neurofeedback, |
| 1:37.8 | but his research, and this is where I'm most excited to talk to him, really focuses on exploring |
| 1:44.0 | brainwave changes that occur as a result of |
| 1:47.6 | contemplative practices, so meditation practices, technological interventions, non-ordinary states of |
| 1:54.4 | consciousness, perhaps psychedelics, but also perhaps these experiences in medium or psychic states, |
| 2:00.4 | and also sci abilities. |
| 2:02.7 | He's the author of this new book, Becoming Psychic, Lessons from the Minds of Mediums, |
| 2:09.6 | healers, and Psychics, and Meditation Interventions to Rewire the Brain. |
