The chapters encompass a diverse range of themes--from theoretical explorations of consciousness, time perception, and higher-order cognition to empirical studies on meditation, mental health, and machine learning-based neurodiagnostics. Grounded in classical Indian frameworks such as Sāṅkhya, Yoga, Ayurveda, and Jain philosophy, the book examines concepts like non-attachment, empathy, mind-body integration, and the void (paazh) as philosophical foundations for cognitive and emotional health. It further bridges ancient contemplative practices with contemporary technologies, presenting studies on EEG, VR-assisted meditation, neural coupling, and AI-enabled mental workload classification. Highlights include innovative assessments of Rajyoga and Vipassana, the development of psychometric scales, the role of diet and nasal breathing in cognitive health, and quantum-informed decision models. With contributions from philosophy, neuroscience, psychology, AI, and education, the book offers a unique synthesis of tradition and technology. It is a valuable resource for scholars, clinicians, and practitioners interested in the evolving dialogue between Indian contemplative traditions and cutting-edge cognitive science.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47854053818519,"sku":"9783032217035","price":20015.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783032217035.webp?v=1780038547","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/consciousness-cognition-and-contemplative-sciences-9783032217035","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
