Host Michael Taft talks with neuroscientist and meditator Ruben Laukkonen in regards to the phenomenology of the insight experience, how the sequence of deepening meditative practices maps onto the model of predictive processing within the human brain, the Eureka heuristic, what neuroscience can tell us in regards to the deconstructive model of meditation, the science of cessations, and way more.

Ruben Laukkonen is a postdoctoral fellow on the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam and lecturer at Amsterdam University College. Ruben seeks to uncover an empirically grounded and experientially authentic understanding of meditation, insight, and non-duality. Using a mixture of neuroimaging, machine learning, and phenomenology, he’s investigating a few of the rarest states of consciousness available to human beings. Ruben has an eclectic contemplative background, including traditions reminiscent of Zen, Advaita, and Theravada.
