in Support of Existence of 
Qualitatively Different Neurological Systems

Dr. Graves acknowledged that he was not a neurologist, and to find the neurological evidence he needed to support his Levels of Existence Theory he had to turn to the research of other scientists. The studies, listed below, were compiled by Dr. Graves up to about August, 1969.
