Price, E Alan(1981). A "three worlds" perspective to the mind-brain relationship in parapsychology. Parapsychological Journal of South Africa, 2(1), (pp. 38-49) Abstract Discusses the nature of the mind and its relationship to the brain. The mind and brain are seen as separate entities, and the dualist problem of interaction is considered in terms of the three worlds theory (K. R. Popper and J. C. Eccles, 1977). Psychokinesis (PK) is hypothesized to be the force that provides the interaction at the interface between the mind and the brain. It is concluded that research into PK is regarded as of philosophical importance because of its relevance to the concept of free will. (9 ref)
