is a long-term practitioner of meditation in the Tibetan
Buddhist traditions of Dzog-Chen and Mahamudra and the
Hindu tradition of Advaita Vedanta. He is presently
a research scientist at the Rubin Laboratory, Center

studies effects of meditation on perceptual bi-stability.
Previously, he was at Rutgers University where he studied
the neural correlates of nondual awareness, and the
