Self or Non-Self? The Science of Meditation SOLD OUT

Spiritual practice is often presented as decreasing or even altogether eliminating one’s sense of separate self and individuality. A variety of methods today, from mindfulness to wearable technologies, are praised as affecting self-perception and decreasing certain brain activities. In this talk, we will explore what exactly happens in the human brain while performing different types of spiritual practices and why authentic subjectivity and creativity matter for our lives.

He is also the principal science investigator at Nonduality Institute, an independent center for the scientific research on nonduality.
