The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence(AI) has reshaped contemporary life and intensified philosophical questions concerning human consciousness and selfhood.

Modern teachings on Buddhist meditation often draw on Śāntideva’s eighth-century Bodhicaryāvatāra (Introduction to the Bodhisattva’s Way of Life). While Śāntideva’s thought is presented as fit for broad global audiences, the fact that it developed in tandem with restricted tantric practices has received little attention. Visualization techniques in the early chapters parallel transgressive...

Electroencephalography (EEG) is a popular non-invasive method for studying brain dynamics because of its excellent temporal resolution. However, the non-stationarity, intersubject variability and class imbalance of EEG data, make it difficult to automatically discriminate between brain states that correspond to various cognitive or sensory circumstances. With the use of a deep hybrid...

Abstract Contemplative practices offer a promising lens for thinking about how people navigate change, vulnerability, and the emotional texture of later life. This article examines how such practices extend ideas of healthy aging, drawing on interviews and focus groups ( n = 24) from an 8-week mind–body course. Participants reported strong satisfaction with the course, noting improvements in...

This issue not only disrupts the learning environment but also contributes to a range of other health-related problems.
