Science of the Meditative Mind

Our scientific work explores meditation, consciousness, attention, and contemplative experience through neuroscience and cognitive science.

Bridging contemplative traditions with advanced brain imaging and physiological measurements, our research investigates the neural dynamics of the meditative mind.
