Talk: We look at an idea about the nature of the mind and sense of self that’s deeply resonant with Buddhist and Yogic ideas about who we are and what perception is: that the mind makes a virtual model of the world in order to move through it most accurately. I reference this article about the work of neuroscientist Thomas Metzinger on virtual reality experiments.
