Day 29: Science of Vision & Types of Attention | 30 Days of Meditation, Science & Bliss

This video explores the science of vision and types of attention, delving into how our visual system creates our perception of reality.
We examine the interplay between focused and open attention, drawing insights from both modern neuroscience and ancient meditation practices.
We’ll delve into visual processing in the brain, the predictive nature of vision, and how different modes of attention can influence our mental states and awareness.
