Do You Feel Like You're Not in Charge Anymore?

There's a philosophical perspective on the mind brain relationship that goes back into the nineteenth century, was william james commented on it quite bit. And i've always been impressed that great mystics, most of my acquaintances with the christian tradition, speak of a dark night of the soul. Do you see any evidence for that in the brain imaging? One of the areas in our brain that actually particularly shuts down is the frontal lobe. The fruntal lobes are typically involved in helping us to think what we're doing and do purposeful behaviours.
