Unlocking the Power of Meditation: Controlling Consciousness at Will
Experienced meditators, according to a new scientific study, have the ability to voluntarily induce unconscious states known as cessations, where they briefly lose consciousness and experience profound mental and perceptual clarity upon re-awakening. The study, which used EEG to measure brain activity, suggests that the ability to "turn off" consciousness could have significant implications for our understanding of cognition.
