#mentalstates — Public Fediverse posts

#Zen practice emphasizes dynamic #MentalStates — such as #NonThinking (#hishiryō), #NoMind (#mushin), #equanimity (#fudōshin), and beginner's mind (#shoshin) — as expressions of Buddhist insight. These qualities arise through embodied #meditation, non-attachment, and integration of #mindfulness in #DailyLife. Here is a brief overview of the key mental states valued in Zen practice. In the coming days, I’ll post detailed exposés on each.

Neural bases of freedom and responsibility

This review presents a broad perspective of the Neuroscience of our days with special attention to how the brain generates our behaviors, emotions, and mental states. It describes in detail how unconscious and conscious processing of sensorimotor and mental information takes place in our brains. Finally, the brain process for decision-making, and its relationship with individual free will and responsibility, are also described.
