Research: Consciousness, Meditation and Nonduality I am interested in states of consciousness cultivated through contemplative practice, what these states can tell us about the nature of consciousness and its relation to authentic subjectivity, and what relevance this may have for understanding the global and local organization in the brain. BBC Interview: Brains of Buddhist monks scanned in meditation study Biography: I am a research associate at NYU Cognitive Neurophysiology Lab, Comprehensive Epilepsy Center. I co-founded the Margam series of talks at NYU that showcase current research on meditation and consciousness. I am also a founding director of Nonduality Institute, an independent center for the science and practice of nondual meditation.
