Mind and Life InstituteThe Mind and Life Institute’s mission is to establish mutually respectful collaboration and research partnerships between modern science and Buddhism. It believes that in order for the dialogue between meditation and science to have a durable contribution to humanity, collaborative research programs must be conducted in first rate Western scientific laboratories and the results of those studies be published in prominent peer-review scientific journals. Thus far, collaborative research has been focused on collecting data from highly trained meditative adepts using functional magnetic resonance imaging (FMRI), Electroencephalographs (EEG) and Magneto-encephalography (MEG) neuron-imaging techniques and other psychological, neurological, and immunological measures. Most importantly, these meditative adepts are not just "subjects", in the classical sense; rather, they are true collaborators, helping to design the scientific research protocols, and participating in analysis and publications. |
