Bruce Lipton Quotes

The human brain is the most public organ on the face of the earth, open to everything, sending out messages to everything. To be sure, it is hidden away in bone and conducts internal affairs in secrecy, but virtually all the business is the direct result of thinking that has already occurred in other minds.

I find it hilarious that there are academics who try to analyse chemical changes in the brains of students while exposing them to gags.

The brain is the citadel of sense perception.

Minds are simply what brains do.

Some may be helped by images, some may not. Some require an image outside, others one inside the brain.

The brain and its satellite glands have now been probed to the point where no particular site remains that can reasonably be supposed to harbour a nonphysical mind.

With brain hacking experiments, I've hacked into Morgan Freeman's brain. He was the most famous and the most nerve wracking because I got really awestruck when I met him, and the moment I was introduced to him, he challenged me there and then to hack his brain.

The brain is such an incredible computer.

I'm a big believer in the power of visualizations. And so are neuroscientists. Numerous studies have proven how merely imagining positive circumstances sends blood flowing from negative brain regions to positive ones.

I'm a professor of neuroscience at Stanford University, and I'm kind of half-neurobiologist, half-primatologist.

My central thesis is that combining increased temporal and spatial resolution in MRI techniques with increasingly powerful data correlation techniques will allow the derivation of interpreted meanings from neural signals. I observed, further, that the techniques that exist already allow some correlations.

The human body is not the person. Identity is the way the brain operates; it's memories, it's sensory input and output. The mind is the person.

I can tell you what images are in your head. I can tell what music you're thinking of. I can tell if you're listening to me or not. That's possible with an MRI now.

It is amazing how many thoughts can race through your head in a minute.

It is the brain, not the heart or lungs, that is the critical organ.

The conscious mind is not at the center of the action in the brain; instead, it is far out on a distant edge, hearing but whispers of the activity.

More of your brain is involved when reading than it is when you watch television... because you are supplying just about everything... you're a creator.

The brain is the key, the brain is the source, the brain is God. Everything that humans do is neuroecology.

The last 100 years of research into the human brain...sees the brain as an organ that works by physical principles just like the other organs in the body...our emotions and higher callings, such as religion, as well as our grubby low-level physical systems like stereo vision and motor control, are products of a machine.

We see with the eyes, but we see with the brain as well. And seeing with the brain is often called imagination.

Your brain does not manufacture thoughts. Your thoughts shape neural networks.

Language allows you to implant a thought from your mind directly into someone else's mind, and they can attempt to do the same to you, without either of you having to perform surgery.

Apparently there are three levels of brain activity. Level 1 is the lowest level - the amount of concentration required to, say, delete emails or serve in congress.

There's a special part of Messi's brain allowing him to see the split-second chaos of football in his own personal super slow motion.

To live (as I understand it) is to exist within a conception of time. But to remember is to vacate the very notion of time. Every memory, no matter how remote its subject, takes place 'Now,' at the moment it's called to the mind. The more something is recalled, the more the brain has a chance to refine the original experience. Because every memory is a re-creation, not a playback.
