"When consciousness is free, when
sensitivity is optimal, we are what the
universe is. Ultimately, everything is a
manifestation of the brain structure,
which in turn, is a model of the whole
universe. When we see, we see
ourselves."
—Jacobo Grinberg
¿Who is Jacobo Grinberg?
Jacobo Grinberg-Zylberbaum was born in Mexico
City on December 12, 1946 into a family of Jewish
descent. He decided to study the human mind at the
age of twelve, after his mother died of a stroke.
Studies
Dr. Grinberg studied psychology at UNAM and then
traveled to New York in 1970 to study
psychophysiology at the Brain Research Institute,
where he obtained a PhD focused on the
electrophysiological effects of geometric stimuli on the
human brain. Upon his return to Mexico, he founded a
psychophysiology laboratory at the Universidad
Anahuac. In the late 1970s, he created another similar
laboratory at UNAM, and in 1987, he founded the
National Institute for the Study of Consciousness
(INPEC), funded by UNAM and the National Council of
Science and Technology (Conacyt).
What did
he do? Jacobo was a psycho-
scientist who previously
worked as a Mexican
neurophysiologist and
psychologist. He dedicated
himself to the study of
Mexican Chamanism,
consciousness,
parapsychology, oriental
disciplines, meditation and
telepathy, among other
subjects, being, therefore, a
pseudoscientist who wrote a
total of 54 books.
