Our guests today are neuroscientist Prof. Marjorie Woollacott, cognitive scientist Prof. John Verveke, and Swami Sarvapriyananda, a renowned teacher and scholar in the Advaita Vedanta tradition.
The speakers discuss the nature and function of consciousness, bringing together different perspectives from the cognitive sciences and various contemplative traditions. Drawing from their research and contemplative experience, they talk about the potential of meditation and mystical experiences, the nature of qualia, the fundamental ground revealed by deep meditative states, and how to develop greater wisdom and insight.
Today’s dialogue is moderated by Scott Snibbe, host and producer of the meditation podcast ‘a Skeptic’s Path to Enlightenment’.
Science & Wisdom LIVE brings meditation practitioners in conversation with scientists to address the problems of contemporary society and come to new possible solutions.
