My Bio
 
 
I am a neurophysiologist with 30+ years working on the neurobiology of cognition. For this I have studied the electrical activity of individual brain cells in research animals as they perform cognitive tasks.
 
More recently, however, I have undergone a major shift in emphasis. Specifically, I have become interested in the neurobiology of Buddhist meditation.   Based on careful reading of Buddhist texts, along with my own and others' experience with meditation practice, I have developed a neural network theory for how the brain changes during, and as a result of Buddhist meditation and practice.  Please visit the Showcase tab on the left to acess a version of this theory intended for a general audience.  A professional-level version is available in the Journal of Consciousness Studies, Volume 18, pages 137 - 169..
