Change Your Mind: Neuroplasticity & Buddhist Transformation

2010 ii Acknowledgments My heartfelt thanks goes to Dr. Robert E. Hegel who has been my advisor and friend since my first day at Washington University. You have been so patient and encouraging in synthesizing my many interests and I sincerely could not have completed this work without you. Thank you Dr. Pauline C. Lee for everything, from laughter to literature, you have given me riches and I am exceedingly grateful for all the opportunities you have provided me with. My thanks to Dr. Beata Grant as well, for supplying the title " Change Your Mind " and for offering many helpful suggestions to make this work more effective. Thank you Dr. Carl F. Craver for taking the time to discuss my work and for providing input on important questions in philosophy of mind. I would also like to thank Dr. Frank K. Flinn for inviting me to speak on my research. You have been supportive and inspiring. Thank you to all my professors; every bit of knowledge gained from your expertise has been a contribution. iii Dedication To the beauty of novelties that invoke childlike wonder, And to the mysterious depths of humankind's power. To the meeting of dark cosmos and the illuminating mind, And the music of Nature's song through time, Resonating in that which Is, so it may be revealed and known.
