Dr. Alex Gomez-Marin is a Spanish theoretical physicist who became a neuroscientist. Alex has specialized in the neurobiology of action perception -- or how we perceive the world and then immediately act upon it. His current focus has been on what he calls "the edges of consciousness", which takes into account paranormal phenomena such as near-death experiences, hypnosis, and the subjective experience of animals, to find new ways of understanding consciousness without falling into the materialist pathological trap of transhumanism.
