Zen under the eyes of science.
The science of Buddhist meditation? Here's a scientific study at New York University, led by reporter Matt Danzico narration, on BBC News 24-3-2011. Vietnamese translation of the full text is as follows.
The brain of the Buddhist monk was taken back by a scanner (scanner) in the study of meditation.
The investigative research on the brains of the master.
New York, USA – In a laboratory is separated from a road in New York City's noisy, nervous about a gentle language are giving the Tibetan Abbot on a large brain scanners as a vehicle to learn more about this ancient meditation practice.
But this anomaly research can not only unravel the secrets of living a life in harmony, which can also bring light to some of the more occult disease in the world?
Zoran Josipovic, scientist and Professor at New York University, said he is examining the brains of the master while they meditate, to learn about the way the brains of their restructured during meditation.
Since 2008, this researcher has put mind and body of the senior Buddhist monk on the fMRI machine (magnetic image Analyzer) up to 5 tons.
This scanner to track blood flow rate in the beginning of the master while they meditated inside the walls of the machine, where it resonates out, soothing regularity during the run.
Dr. Josipovic, also is a Buddhist monk, says he hopes to learn how some teachers into State "none" (nonduality) also known as the "most able" (oneness) with the world, a unified consciousness among the people and environment around us.
Zoran Josipovic looks at the brain scanning images on a computer. The study specifically looked at the natural networks of the brain, which control the notion of self-consistent.
Dr. Josipovic said, "one thing that meditation helps to exercise more is going to increase the likelihood of attention," and added that the practice skills that can help lead to a way of life more calm and more happiness.
"Research on meditation, particularly in about 10 years, has shown very promising, because it indicates the ability of the brain to transform and optimization in a way that we previously didn't know was possible."
When a man at ease on the status of the "world's best" (oneness), neural networks in the meditation experience will change as they lower the psychological wall between themselves and the environment around them (lower the psychological wall between themselves and their environments), according to Dr. Josipovic.
And the status of the reorganization of the brain can lead to what some say is the deepest remains between them and the surrounding environment.
Transform the attention
The research of Dr. Josipovic is part of a larger effort to find out what the scientists called the internal network (default network, network element, by default, a name) in the brain.
He says the brain seems to be organized into two networks: external network, and a network of internal (intrinsic, or default, network).
Zoran Josipovic amendment brought a master on the scanner the brain fMRI. Dr. Josipovic has scanned the brains of more than 20 the meditation experience in this study.
External network of the brain become active when the focus on jobs on the outside, such as playing sports, or pouring a cup of coffee.
The internal network of the brain in motion when it is the contemplation of things to themselves and to their feelings.
But the networks rarely works with all at the same time. And like when playing this early, when a spare, then the other end chúi down.
Such a nervous state that it is easier to focus on one thing at a given moment, without being distracted and dreaming.
"What we're trying to do here is, fundamentally, if the variation in the network of the brain when it is transferred between the interested States," according to Dr. Josipovic.
Dr. Josipovic discover that a couple of the lawyer and the meditation experience were able to keep both the neural networks operate at the same time while meditating-i.e., they figured out how to lift the 2 top rocking (of the brain) at the same time.
And Dr. Josipovic believes the possibility of activating both peripheral nerve network and infiltrators in the brain at the same time will be able to help the Professor experiences the feeling of harmony of unitary status with the environment (Note: text of meditation is, and does not vary).
Self reflection
Scientists had previously believed that neural networks intrinsic self reflected in the brain is simply a network becomes active when a person does not have to focus on ideology.
But the researchers discovered in the past decade that this part of the brain were activated when people thought about themselves.
The internal network of the brain in 2001 when Dr. Marcus Raichle, a neurologist at the University of medicine, Washington University School of Medicine in Missouri, began scanning the brains of those not yet assigned a task to perform.
The move depressed, and Dr. Dr. Raichle realized a second network (in the brain) which previously unnoticed, jumped up. But scientists are still not clear why this brain activity occurs.
Other scientists quickly suggested that the experiments of Dr. Raichle has probably already thought about themselves.
Before long, the neuroscientist who conducted the study using the film to activate the brain, has found that when there was a silent movie, the internal network (of the brain) begin to trigger-for signs that the experimental character can start thinking about themselves to avoid depression.
But Dr. Raichle said internal network (of the brain), the story is more important than thinking about what that litigants have eaten out yesterday evening.
He said, "The researchers of figs with the thought of how do we know who we are and who we are. Internal network (of the brain) to reveal more about the ways in which we can know so. "
And Dr. Raichle, adding that those who study on the internal network (of the brain) may also help explore the secrets surrounding a number of mental disorder, such as depression (depression), autism (autism) and even romantic disease (Alzheimer 's).
"If you look at Alzheimer 's, and you're looking for is it will attack or not in a particular part of the brain, miracle (discover it) that it really attacks the internal network (of the brain)," according to Dr. Raichle, added that the study of the internal network (the brain)as Dr. Josipovic, may help explain why so.
Cindy Lustig, Associate Professor giaó of psychology and Neuroscience at the University of Michigan, agreed.
Earl said, "that's an important network and has not been studied much in the brain, which as it looks much contact to other neurological disorders, including autism and wasting diseases, and understand the way this network interact with foreign networks in (towards the assigned job) of the brain is important. It is kind of a different piece of the Assembly has neglected for too long. "
Dr. Josipovic has scanned the brains of more than 20 the meditation experience, both counsel and principal positions, meditation according to Tibetan Buddhism, to learn more about this mysterious mind network.
He said, the study says, and will soon be published, next one is going to continue to focus to giảỉ like the meaning of Neurology of unitary status (oneness) and tranquility (tranquillity)-despite improved understanding of autism and romantic decor sure was a further reward.
