Cerebro y meditación Diálogo entre el budismo y las neurociencias

Collecting work that the authors have spent years confronting, Ricard and Singer share their answers to the following questions: Does meditation modify neural circuits? How do emotions transform? Which different states modify the conscious? What is the “I”? Does free will exist? What can we say about the nature of consciousness? In this work, Ricard and Singer have a profound dialogue between contemplation and modern science in hopes of penetrating the mysteries of the human mind.

Matthieu Ricard has been a Buddhist monk for 40 years. He was a molecular biology investigator in the laboratory of François Jacob. He is now a writer of numerous books and dedicates himself to humanitarian projects for the Karuna-Schechen Association. Wolf Singer is one of the world’s leading brain specialists. He is a neurobiologist and director emeritus of the Max Planck Institute.
