The Human Default Consciousness and Its Disruption: Insights From an EEG Study of Buddhist Jhāna Meditation

Summary:
- The study explores the concept of human default consciousness (DCs) and its disruption through Buddhist jhāna meditation, contrasting it with other states like anesthesia and coma.
- DCs are defined as a sensory consciousness that evaluates experiences against personal needs, forming the basis of self-experience.
- Jhāna meditation aims to intentionally withdraw from DCs, leading to a state of stillness called jhāna consciousness, which facilitates insight.
- EEG findings from the study reveal unique brain activity patterns during jhāna meditation, including spindle activity and high-voltage slow waves, differing from typical meditation EEG profiles.
- The study suggests that experienced meditators can consciously evoke clonic seizure-like activity, indicating a profound disruption in their DCs.
- The paper highlights the need for more in-depth studies on jhāna meditation, as previous research has largely focused on other forms of meditation.
- The practice of jhāna meditation involves overcoming hindrances such as sensory desire and restlessness, which are seen as key features of the DCs.
- The jhāna states progress from initial attention to deeper states of equanimity, characterized by increasingly refined subjective experiences.
- The second and higher jhānas focus on mastering bodily energies and tranquility, leading to a state of mind-body integration known as samādhi.
- The exploration of jhāna meditation provides insights into the subjective experience of consciousness, raising questions about the nature of the subject-object relationship in neuroscience.

Telegram | DID YOU KNOW?

Date: |

Russians and Ukrainians are both prolific users of Telegram. They rely on the app for channels that act as newsfeeds, group chats (both public and private), and one-to-one communication. Since the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Telegram has remained an important lifeline for both Russians and Ukrainians, as a way of staying aware of the latest news and keeping in touch with loved ones. Telegram was co-founded by Pavel and Nikolai Durov, the brothers who had previously created VKontakte. VK is Russia’s equivalent of Facebook, a social network used for public and private messaging, audio and video sharing as well as online gaming. In January, SimpleWeb reported that VK was Russia’s fourth most-visited website, after Yandex, YouTube and Google’s Russian-language homepage. In 2016, Forbes’ Michael Solomon described Pavel Durov (pictured, below) as the “Mark Zuckerberg of Russia.” Pavel Durov, Telegram's CEO, is known as "the Russian Mark Zuckerberg," for co-founding VKontakte, which is Russian for "in touch," a Facebook imitator that became the country's most popular social networking site. But the Ukraine Crisis Media Center's Tsekhanovska points out that communications are often down in zones most affected by the war, making this sort of cross-referencing a luxury many cannot afford. Telegram has become more interventionist over time, and has steadily increased its efforts to shut down these accounts. But this has also meant that the company has also engaged with lawmakers more generally, although it maintains that it doesn’t do so willingly. For instance, in September 2021, Telegram reportedly blocked a chat bot in support of (Putin critic) Alexei Navalny during Russia’s most recent parliamentary elections. Pavel Durov was quoted at the time saying that the company was obliged to follow a “legitimate” law of the land. He added that as Apple and Google both follow the law, to violate it would give both platforms a reason to boot the messenger from its stores.
