A transdisciplinary study of non-dual meditation and consciousness
The Nature of Mind (NOM) Research Project is an international scientific initiative investigating the nature of consciousness through long-term contemplative practice. Combining neuroscience, phenomenology, computational modeling, molecular biology, and Buddhist contemplative expertise, NOM aims to understand how non-dual meditation impacts human flourishing by transforming perception, self-experience, emotional regulation during wakefulness and sleep.
The project brings together researchers from INSERM / Lyon University (France), EPFL Lausanne (Switzerland), the University of Wisconsin–Madison (USA), the University of Virginia (USA), Oxford University (UK) and Coimbra University (Portugal) and an international network of contemplative scholars and practitioners.
