Buddhism and the Brain
At Seed, David Weisman describes the intersection between neuroscience and Buddhism. “Neuroscience tells us the thing we take as our unified mind is an illusion, that our mind is not unified and can barely be said to ‘exist’ at all.” Weisman writes that Buddhist thought echoes this axiom of neuroscience: “[Buddhists] believe in an impermanent and illusory self made of shifting parts.”
