New Delhi [India], October 1: Geneva-based analysis and improvement organisation All Here, in collaboration with the World Meditation League (WML) and S-VYASA Deemed to be University, performed a dwell demonstration of Quantified Meditation in Bengaluru, utilizing electroencephalography (EEG) and brain-computer interface (BCI) know-how to visualise measurable patterns of mind exercise whereas contributors meditated.
Held at S-VYASA in Bengaluru, the demonstration used electroencephalography (EEG) and brain-computer interface (BCI) know-how to seize and visualise patterns of mind exercise whereas contributors meditated, permitting audiences to watch the altering indicators in actual time.
The demonstration marked the concluding public occasion of All Here’s Silent Mind Advanced Meditation Training, held at S-VYASA from 25 to twenty-eight September.
Unlike conventional approaches to meditation, the place progress and expertise are largely understood by subjective measures corresponding to focus, consciousness and perceived psychological stillness, Quantified Meditation seeks so as to add a measurable layer to the observe by observing patterns of mind exercise related to consideration, mind-wandering and psychological silence.
During the Bengaluru demonstration, information captured from contributors by EEG and BCI techniques was translated into dwell visible representations, providing audiences a real-time view of measurable adjustments occurring throughout meditation.
“Meditation has been practised for thousands of years, and technology now gives us another way to study what happens during the practice. Quantified Meditation does not replace the subjective experience of meditation; it provides an additional lens through which we can observe and study measurable patterns of brain activity,” mentioned Erkin Bek, Founder of All Here and the World Meditation League.
From meditation observe to measurable mind exercise
The Bengaluru demonstration is a part of All Here’s wider effort to deliver collectively meditation, neuroscience and know-how to check consideration and superior states of consciousness.
The organisation’s work has taken it throughout meditation and analysis communities in Geneva, Tokyo and Kamakura in Japan, San Francisco and Los Angeles within the US, Thailand’s Buddhist Forest Tradition, and Tibetan monastic communities in India, Germany and France.
India has been a major a part of this journey. All Here and S-VYASA have collaborated since 2023 on meditation analysis and the research of superior states of consciousness. The newest programme builds on this ongoing collaboration and brings the organisation’s quantified strategy to meditation right into a public demonstration setting in Bengaluru.
The Silent Mind Advanced Meditation Training, performed from 25 to twenty-eight September, introduced contributors collectively to discover meditation observe alongside the commentary of mind exercise. The programme is a part of a broader effort by All Here and WML to look at how established contemplative practices might be studied utilizing trendy scientific and technological instruments.
For the organisations, the bigger query isn’t whether or not know-how can substitute meditation, however whether or not trendy neuroscience can present new methods of understanding what occurs throughout sustained consideration, psychological coaching and superior meditation states.
The Bengaluru demonstration supplied audiences a chance to see that query being explored dwell, turning an expertise that’s historically inner and troublesome to watch into one thing that might, not less than partly, be visualised and studied.
