title: [Interpretation of LI Shizhen's theory-Fanguan Neishi].
abstract: LI Shizhen mentioned Fanguan Neishi in Qijing Bamaikao, but without interpretation. There are various interpretations of Fanguan Neishi, such as perception induced by Qigong and methodology of TCM, which are not evidence-based. According to the meaning of perception in traditional culture, neuroscience and psychological research, the physiological function of the brain is introversive thinking on which perception is based. The essence of Fanguan Neishi and introversive thinking are the same and Fanguan Neishi is not an extrasensory perception.
