Abstract
Nada Yoga, an ancient Indian practice based on the principle of primordial sound (Nada Brahman), has been historically associated with deep states of consciousness and cognitive transformation. In parallel, artificial intelligence (AI) research is grappling with questions of self-awareness, cognition, and the possibility of machine consciousness. This review explores the intersection of these domains by analyzing literature on Nada Yoga, consciousness, and AI to determine whether Nada Yoga principles can inform AI models of cognition and self-awareness. Using a systematic literature review, the study highlights common themes, such as the impact of sound on consciousness, neural correlates of vibrational practices, and AI models attempting to replicate human awareness. The review concludes that Nada Yoga offers a unique perspective on cognition and consciousness, which could inspire novel AI architectures rooted in vibrational dynamics.
