We can already see how interested mind science has become in what “really” drives awakening, what are the materialistic processes taking place in the brains of meditators and what do those EEGs look like? If Buddhist Geeks 2011 was any indication there are also lots of Western technologists – both in hardware and software – who are interested in creating the “enlightenment machine,” or at least some killer app that can help us get “there” faster and with less effort.

It will be an interesting conference and an interesting era for Buddhists and other contemplative types.
