meditation for scientists

spirit rock, just north of san francisco, is holding a seven day silent meditation retreat for scientists. it’s designed to “…introduce researchers in the mind sciences to in-depth training in meditation and to explore ways in which a rigorous and systematic approach to introspection can inform scientific research. This event has been organized by scientists, for scientists…”

looks like this is somewhat organized by the mind & life institute folks, who have a twenty year long conversation going now between his holiness the dalai lama and neuroscientists, finding cross over points between modern neuroscience research and buddhist theory and practice.
