00:00It has become basic science now to connect stuff to your brain, electrodes and all, and just see on a screen how different areas light up on different kinds of thoughts and emotions.
00:12You are excited, one area of your brain starts showing activity. You are depressed, some other area starts showing up. You are angry, some other part lights up. All that is activity.
00:24If realization too is activity, then realization is dependent on? And then realization can be seen on?
00:31You know they have tried that for long. They wanted to know which part of the brain is responsible for Buddhahood.
00:37Because they believe in the material so deeply, they said whatever this thing called realization or enlightenment or Buddhahood is, so they actually went for something called the neuroscience of enlightenment.
00:49That what happens in the brain when you get enlightened. Obviously they could make no progress with that. But if you read up on that, it's quite interesting.
