Bylakuppe, India — All Here Director of Meditation Research Dr. Chuong Ngo recently visited Sera Jey Monastic University, where he held inspiring scientific exchanges with the Sera Jey Science Center and took important steps toward deepening our collaboration.

Our shared ambition is to deepen our understanding of consciousness by bringing modern science into dialogue with contemplative traditions.

During the visit, Dr. Ngo explored several key topics in meditation research, including mind-wandering and attention, the Concentration and Mindfulness Index, alpha suppression, infraslow activity and gamma dynamics.

What makes this collaboration so exciting is the opportunity to work with monks whose years of dedicated practice, including advanced Tibetan Tantric meditation, have cultivated remarkable precision in recognizing and describing subtle meditative experiences. Their expertise offers an extraordinary opportunity to investigate the relationship between subjective experience and its neural correlates.

All Here is already conducting EEG recordings with monks engaged in deep meditation practices, and we are eager to expand this work in the coming months.

The collaboration may also open doors to working with highly accomplished practitioners at exceptional levels of contemplative training. This could create rare opportunities to investigate profound meditative states that remain largely unexplored by modern science.

We see enormous potential in this partnership. By combining rigorous scientific methods with the depth of knowledge preserved and developed through contemplative traditions, we hope to push the boundaries of meditation research and contribute to a deeper understanding of consciousness.

Our sincere thanks to the monks and the Sera Jey Science Center for their curiosity, openness and enthusiasm. We look forward to the research, discoveries and shared learning that lie ahead.

This is only the beginning.
