Meditation and the Mind and the Brain
Buddhism has a way of talking in the context of meditation about the mind and the brain. The idea that consciousness would be revealed or the mind and its workings would be revealed in meditation doesn't seem right, he says. It also doesn't take into account how we've learned that so much of what our brain is actually doing is being accessible to introspection as Robert Burton once said expecting the mind to tell you how it works is talking to a con man.
