John C. Lily

John C. Lilly was a pioneering neuroscientist and inventor known for his work exploring human consciousness, aquatic research, and technology. He studied how the brain processes sensory information, experimented with isolation tanks (sensory deprivation) to understand altered states, and investigated communication with dolphins, believing they might possess advanced intelligence. Lilly also explored consciousness expansion through psychedelic substances. His research bridged science, psychology, and philosophy, often challenging traditional views about mind and perception. Overall, he sought to understand human awareness and the nature of consciousness from unique scientific and experiential perspectives.
