In 'Brain and Meditation', Matthieu Ricard and Wolf Singer explore the intersection between Buddhism and neuroscience. Over eight years, these authors have shared their knowledge to answer fundamental questions about the mind: How does meditation modify neural circuits? How are emotions formed? What are altered states of consciousness? What is the 'self'? Does free will exist? Through a deep dialogue, they confront Buddhist philosophy, based on personal experience and meditation, with neuroscience, which is based on laboratory experimentation. This book proposes an approach between both disciplines to unravel the mysteries of the human mind.
Matthieu Ricard is a Nepalese French writer, photographer, translator and Buddhist monk who resides at Shechen Tennyi Dargyeling Monastery in Nepal.
