RE: The Neuroscience of Memory Formation.
I haven't thought through what I think, so thank you for the opportunity to start doing that. I think it starts with the idea of a 'paradigm' and the concept that a new paradigm must both explain what is already known and be able to explain some of what isn't known.
So looking at a model that incorporates spiritual techniques and maps (such as Buddhist based mindfulness, and my current interest, the so called Three Principles Approach) and the scientific research so that our understanding of 'consciousness' is enriched in a way that actually makes a difference to the way we experience life and so live.
It's a beginning!
I think having a balanced perspective is good. The scientific process can and has revealed much about our brains, but not yet a whole lot on our consciousness. I don't believe consciousness is beyond the purview of science, but we aren't there yet. Intuitive, self-contemplative methods of approaching an understanding of our mind are certainly very useful for our well being. Mindfulness can provide real benefits to those who practice. I haven't heard of the Three Principles Approach, so thank you for sharing!
