7 Scientific Reasons to Meditate Now, a virtual event

This Zoom event will take place on Thursday, October 26th from 7-8 pm-it is generously shared with us by the Shrewsbury Public Library. Click here to register on their site! Please note that our library will be closed for the day at that time.

Join this virtual event with Manish Saggar, PhD and Assistant Professor in Psychiatry & Behavioral Sciences at Stanford University, for a presentation of neuroscientific data on how regular meditation practices improve physical, mental, and emotional health. He will also discuss how happiness and harmony can be gained by focusing one’s attention during meditation.

Dr. Saggar directs the Brain Dynamics Lab at Stanford University, which is dedicated to developing computational methods for neuroimaging data to better understand individual differences in brain functioning. He received his doctorate from the University of Texas at Austin and completed his postdoctoral training at Stanford. As part of his doctoral work, he developed computational methods to understand how brain activity changes with intensive meditation training.
