OLLI at UNC Asheville’s Meditation SIG presents ‘The Neuroscience of Meditation and Higher States of Consciousness’ with Fred Travis

Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at UNC Asheville will host Fred Travis on Monday, April 26 at 4:30 p.m. as he presents “The Neuroscience of Meditation and Higher States of Consciousness.”

Fred Travis is one of the world’s most respected and highly published researchers in the area of meditation and the brain. He is director of the Center for Brain, Consciousness and Cognition in Fairfield, Iowa. His groundbreaking book, “World-Class Brain: The Edge That Helps Peak Performers Succeed And How You Can Develop It,” describes how greater “brain integration” (increased brain connectivity and coherence) improves focus, memory, creativity, decision making, and behavior, and how meditation can develop a higher state of brain health. In this online talk, he will discuss the three major forms of meditation and how they each affect the brain in different ways, and will present the latest scientific knowledge about meditation, brain health, and higher stages of human development.
