Episode Description: In this episode, Richard Davidson explores the history and advancements in the field of Contemplative Neuroscience. Beginning with a guided tour of just one cubic millimeter of cortex, Richard explains how the human brain is one of the most complex pieces of matter in the universe. Richard delves into the themes of epigenetics, neuroplasticity, and bi-directional communication as he explores their role in compassion and conflict. Richard further shows how the assertion that cognitive conflict is aversive may not be accurate and that to turn towards suffering is the most effective means of liberation.
