商品描述
This book brings together pioneering research and perspectives at the crossroads of consciousness studies, cognitive science, traditional Indian knowledge systems, and modern neuroscience. The chapters encompass a diverse range of themes--from theoretical explorations of consciousness, time perception, and higher-order cognition to empirical studies on meditation, mental health, and machine learning-based neurodiagnostics. Grounded in classical Indian frameworks such as Sāṅkhya, Yoga, Ayurveda, and Jain philosophy, the book examines concepts like non-attachment, empathy, mind-body integration, and the void (paazh) as philosophical foundations for cognitive and emotional health. It further bridges ancient contemplative practices with contemporary technologies, presenting studies on EEG, VR-assisted meditation, neural coupling, and AI-enabled mental workload classification. Highlights include innovative assessments of Rajyoga and Vipassana, the development of psychometric scales, the role of diet and nasal breathing in cognitive health, and quantum-informed decision models. With contributions from philosophy, neuroscience, psychology, AI, and education, the book offers a unique synthesis of tradition and technology. It is a valuable resource for scholars, clinicians, and practitioners interested in the evolving dialogue between Indian contemplative traditions and cutting-edge cognitive science.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
本書匯集了在意識研究、認知科學、傳統印度知識體系與現代神經科學交匯處的開創性研究與觀點。各章節涵蓋多樣的主題——從對意識、時間知覺及高階認知的理論探索，到對冥想、心理健康及基於機器學習的神經診斷的實證研究。書中以古典印度框架如薩姆基亞（Sāṃkhya）、瑜伽（Yoga）、阿育吠陀（Ayurveda）及耆那哲學（Jain philosophy）為基礎，探討非依附（non-attachment）、同理心（empathy）、身心整合（mind-body integration）及虛無（paazh）等概念，作為認知與情感健康的哲學基礎。它進一步將古老的沉思實踐與當代技術相結合，呈現有關腦電圖（EEG）、虛擬實境輔助冥想、神經耦合及人工智慧（AI）驅動的心理負荷分類的研究。亮點包括對拉傑瑜伽（Rajyoga）和內觀（Vipassana）的創新評估、心理測量量表的發展、飲食與鼻呼吸在認知健康中的角色，以及量子啟發的決策模型。該書融合了哲學、神經科學、心理學、人工智慧及教育的貢獻，提供了傳統與技術的獨特綜合體。對於對印度沉思傳統與尖端認知科學之間不斷演變的對話感興趣的學者、臨床醫生及實踐者而言，這是一本寶貴的資源。
