Brainwave: Illusion

BW 2013

The Buddha said that everything is illusion. What did he mean by that? This sixth edition of Brainwave will enlist the aid of neuroscientists to help us understand how the perception of our world is shaped by the surprising adaptability of our brains. Brainwave includes talks, special film screenings followed by discussions, The Memory Palace (an interactive workshop), Lunch Matters, and Cabaret Cinema. 

Presenting Sponsor of Brainwave 2013 


Brainwave 2013 was made possible, in part, by support from the Frederick P. Lenz Foundation for American Buddhism.
