Beyond Consciousness: How Meditators Voluntarily Enter Void States
Posted by Jose Ruben Rodriguez Fuentes in categories: biotech/medical, neuroscience
Summary: Experienced meditators can voluntarily induce unconscious states, known as cessations, without the use of drugs. This ability, observed in Tibetan Buddhist practice, allows meditators to experience a momentary void of consciousness, followed by enhanced mental clarity.
Conducted across multiple countries, the study utilized EEG spectral analysis to objectively measure brain activity during these cessation events. By correlating the meditator’s first-person experience with neuroimaging data, researchers have gained insights into the profound modulation of consciousness achievable through advanced meditation practices.

A digital twin system that could enhance collaborative human-robot product assembly
Posted by Cecile G. Tamura in category: robotics/AI
The digital twin system created by Zhang, Ji, and their colleagues creates a virtual replica of a scene in which a human and robot agent are collaborating.
Robotics systems have already been introduced in numerous real-world settings, including some industrial and manufacturing facilities. In these facilities, robots can assist human assembly line and warehouse workers, assembling some parts of products with high precision and then handing them to human agents tasked with performing additional actions.
In recent years, roboticists and computer scientists have been trying to develop increasingly advanced systems that could enhance these interactions between robots and humans in industrial settings. Some proposed solutions rely on so-called ‘digital twin’ systems, virtual models designed to accurately reproduce a physical object, such as specific products or components that are being manufactured.
