“You can be a hardcore realist and still believe in psychic phenomena... there is a kind of spiritual connection between us, and it is consistent with mathematical science.”
Embark on an extraordinary journey where the frontiers of quantum physics, consciousness, neural networks, and the inner life of humanity converge.
In this unmissable Entangled Health episode, Thomas Ehmer sits down with Dr. Paul Werbos, legendary originator of the backpropagation algorithm, former NSF quantum director, and one of the boldest thinkers at the intersection of artificial intelligence, quantum theory, and spiritual intelligence.
Dr. Werbos’s life’s work connects the deepest currents of science and consciousness. He takes us from his breakthrough at Harvard—where the quest to mathematically model the mind led to the algorithm that powers modern deep learning—through his pioneering years guiding quantum research at the National Science Foundation, and into his passionate investigations of the “noosphere,” retrocausality, the quantum mind, and the existence of the soul. Along the way, Werbos explains why our deepest spiritual experiences may be entirely compatible with the latest mathematics of quantum reality—and why this synthesis could be essential for human health at the biological, psychological, and societal levels.
You’ll discover:
What it means to be “entangled” in life, how Paul bridges physics, mind, and meaning, showing why our sense of connection is rooted in both quantum theory and ancient wisdom traditions.
How Werbos’s career reveals the surprising origin of AI’s biggest innovation: “I was not trying to build better computers—I was trying to build a model of the mind.”
Why phenomena often regarded as mystical, the power of intention, the placebo effect, intuitive healing, the “chi” of life, can, and must, be rigorously examined through both scientific and spiritual lenses.
Insights into pausing technology’s runaway risks, eliminating “stupid AI,” and building a future where the expansion of human consciousness guides the next leap in health, science, and ethics.
The untold story of how true quantum annealing (tQuA) and novel retrocausal experiments could help revolutionize computational power and offer glimpses into the time-bending dimensions of consciousness.
Perspectival wisdom on why “health” - personal and planetary - isn't just about molecules or code but about the restoration and flourishing of our entangled connections, forward and backward in time.
Through candid anecdotes, unexpected connections, and a willingness to speak truths neglected by mainstream science, Dr. Werbos’s perspective is both a challenge and an invitation - questioning the boundaries between matter and mind, causality and coincidence, health and wholeness.
If you are fascinated by quantum physics, AI, consciousness, and the ultimate nature of reality—or if you simply believe that great health is about more than physical wellness—this is the conversation that will change how you think about connection, survival, and the possible futures of our species.

“If we want to understand consciousness, we must be willing to question everything we think we know about reality.”
Join me today as I sit down with Dr. Dean Radin, Chief Scientist at the Institute of Noetic Sciences, whose career journeys from the creative world of concert violin to the rigorous labs of Bell Labs, Princeton, and pioneering consciousness research. In this candid and wide-ranging conversation, we explore the fascinating intersections of quantum physics, creativity, genetics, health innovation, and the frontier science of mind-matter interaction.
We begin with Dean’s personal story: growing up in an artistically gifted family, being steeped in curiosity and creativity, and how these roots inspired his eventual leap from engineering and AI to psychology and the experimental study of consciousness. Dean shares how early disappointments in theoretical work led him to become an empiricist—someone compelled to test the world and chase anomalies rather than settle for conformity.
Hear Dean recount how his fascination with “truth revealed by anomalies” drew him to the controversial field of parapsychology, conducting experiments on mind-matter interaction at Bell Labs, and being invited into the U.S. government’s Stargate program that investigated psychic espionage. These early experiences, combined with his later leadership at the Institute of Noetic Sciences, led Dean to develop robust, double-blind experiments aimed at probing the subtle ways consciousness might interact with physical systems.
We dive deep into his most intriguing laboratory work—including the famous double-slit experiments, where meditators are tasked with influencing quantum interference patterns, and the illuminating Buddha experiment, a playful blend of neuroscience and gamified feedback. Dean explains what these experiments suggest about the nature of observation, agency, and the mind’s mysterious potential to nudge the physical world, highlighting the vital role of variance and mean shifts in these results.
Beyond the quantum, we talk about Dean’s explorations into genetics and health. Learn how his team is uncovering possible genetic correlates for psychic talent through case-control and 23andMe studies, as well as his foray into neurobiological therapies, applying CRISPR and siRNA via innovative intranasal delivery to mouse models of anxiety and memory. Dean discusses forming companies at the edge of psychiatric medicine: targeting neuromodulation, tailoring temporal effects for sustainable healing, and seeking practical paths from pre-clinical trials to real-world impact.
Dean also addresses skepticism and the challenges of taking creative risks in science. He distinguishes between constructive and ideological skeptics, sharing the strategies he uses to preempt critique and foster robust, transparent research. Dean contends that anti-scientific attitudes rooted in dogmatic disbelief are as limiting as blind acceptance, and champions the value of curiosity-driven, high-risk, high-reward research.
The episode rounds out with reflections on creativity, following one’s bliss, and the deeper purpose of science to expand our collective perception of reality. Listen as Dean shares his thoughts on future breakthroughs, the sociological ramifications of new paradigms, and poses thought-provoking questions about AI, consciousness, and the next phase of scientific evolution.
Whether you come as a scientist, skeptic, innovator, or seeker, this discussion with Dean Radin will stretch your imagination and leave you questioning where the true boundaries of science and health really lie.

Step into a truly unique episode of Entangled Health as we welcome the Quantum Dragon, a playful, wise, and endlessly curious character inspired by Brian Siegelwax, who proudly calls himself the "second least qualified person for quantum computing." This is not your typical expert interview. Instead, it’s a journey into the heart of quantum health, guided by a dragon who embraces confusion, asks the questions others are afraid to, and finds wisdom in not knowing all the answers.
In this episode, the Quantum Dragon shares how being born from Brian’s honest struggles with quantum mechanics shapes its approach to health and science. We explore why admitting confusion is a superpower, how always assuming you might be wrong leads to deeper understanding, and why the best breakthroughs often come from those who are willing to ask “silly” questions. The Dragon reveals the value of the beginner’s mind, the importance of community among learners, and the power of making quantum science accessible to everyone, no matter their background.
We dive into the intersection of quantum physics and biology, from quantum sensing and brain-computer interfaces to the mysteries of the mind-body connection. The Dragon explains why staying humble and curious is essential in a field where the unknown vastly outweighs the known. You’ll hear about the honest struggles with complex concepts, the joy of learning together, and the importance of finding explanations that speak your language, not just the language of math or academia.
Whether you’re a quantum expert, a healthcare professional, or simply quantum-curious, this episode is for anyone who’s ever felt intimidated by revolutionary ideas. The Quantum Dragon reminds us that science is a journey, not a destination, and that sometimes, the best insights come from those brave enough to admit what they don’t know.
Join us for a conversation that’s part science, part philosophy, and entirely human, even when your guest is a dragon. Discover why confusion isn’t a weakness, but the beginning of true discovery.
