A short introduction
Christophe Morin, PhD, is a Lecturer at Johns Hopkins University. He is also a pioneering neuroscientist, speaker, and author known for integrating neuroscience with spiritual wisdom to unlock the human mind’s capacity for change. He is the creator of the OPEN Framework, a revolutionary neurospiritual model designed to help individuals overcome Stress, Anxiety, Depression, Addiction, and Trauma (SADAT), and achieve sustained states of consciousness, flow, and fulfilment. Dr. Morin holds a PhD in Media Psychology with a concentration in neuroscience, and has spent over 30 years researching how people make decisions, heal, and transform. He co-authored the acclaimed book, 'The Persuasion Code,' based on groundbreaking work in neuromarketing, and later turned his focus to healing and human potential through his books 'OPEN' (2024), 'OPEN UP' (2025), and 'The Serenity Code' (2021).Publications:
Psychedelics, the self, and the collapse of materialist assumptions
Materialist assumptions often ignore or dismiss the role of consciousness in shaping brain activity itself, argues Johns Hopkins’ Dr. Christophe Morin. Neuroplasticity forces us to reconsider this oversight. The brain does not merely react; it is re-organized in response to intention, attention, and behavior. Studies in mindfulness and trauma recovery demonstrate that new neural pathways can form when individuals shift their patterns of thought and belief. These changes are not trivial: they suggest that mind—and the awareness behind it—is a causal force, Dr. Morin maintains.
