David Lynch, the director of Blue Velvet, Twin Peaks, Mulholland Drive, and Inland Empire, sits down with two scientists to talk about where his films come from. John Hagelin, a quantum physicist who appeared in What the Bleep Do We Know?, and Fred Travis, director of the Center for Brain, Consciousness and Cognition at Maharishi University of Management, join him for a recorded panel produced by UC Berkeley Educational Technology Services. Lynch describes his creative process in his own terms, tracing ideas back to a state of mind he associates with meditation rather than deliberate plotting. Hagelin argues for links between quantum physics and subjective experience, while Travis brings in EEG research on meditators to talk about what shifts in the brain when someone drops into that state. The three trade perspectives rather than debate, moving between filmmaking anecdotes, physics, and neuroscience data to build a case for creativity as something the brain can be trained toward.
