How the Self Controls Its Brain is a book by Sir John Eccles, proposing a theory of philosophical dualism, and offering a justification of how there can be mind-brain action without violating the principle of the conservation of energy.

The view presented here is that of a convinced dualist who challenges in a lively and humorous way the prevailing materialist "doctrines" of many recent works. Also included is a new attempt to explain mind-brain interaction via a quantum process affecting the release of neurotransmitters.

The self starts the brain ́s behaviour, it controls the brain ́s behavioural output. Since the self is immaterial and does not act according to the laws of nature, but only by altering probabilities, the physical conservation laws are not broken. The greatest obstacle to dualism is removed.

1. Jan. 1994 · Eccles’ task is to figure out how that immaterial Self can act upon (control) brain functions, and also do that with no violation of energy conservation in the physical universe. Eccles goes into much technical detail to describe how the Self marshals quantum probabilities so as to influence the firing or inhibition of neurons.
