Can Your Brain Think Without You? The Neuroscience of Consciousness & Problem Solving

Send us Fan Mail In this episode of the Autonomic Homeostasis Activation (AHA) Podcast, Tom Pals and Ruth Lorensson explore groundbreaking neuroscience that challenges our understanding of consciousness. New research suggests the brain can continue processing language, learning, and anticipating what's next—even under general anesthesia. Together, they unpack what this means for brain health, interoception, memory, trauma recovery, and nervous system regulation. They also discuss how the brain's remarkable capacity for problem solving aligns with decades of practical experience using Autonomic Homeostasis Activation (AHA). Discover why your brain may be far more intelligent than you've imagined, how chronic stress and trauma affect its natural functioning, and why learning to listen to your brain could transform your approach to healing, emotional resilience, and wellbeing.
