The Science of Yogic Mind: Bridging Yogashastra, Neuroscience, and Artificial Intelligence
What if ancient Yogic wisdom and modern neuroscience were describing the same mind from different directions?
The Science of Yogic Mind explores a powerful question at the intersection of philosophy, science, and technology:
How do attention, memory, perception, and consciousness actually work?
Drawing from classical Yogic texts, contemporary neuroscience, and computational learning models, this book builds a clear bridge between three domains that rarely speak to each other:
- Yogashastra - the ancient science of consciousness
- Neuroscience - the biology of cognition and brain networks
- Artificial Intelligence - computational models of learning and perception
Through first-principles explanations, readers discover how ideas such as Chitta, Vritti, Samskara, and Vasana can be understood alongside concepts like:
- neural plasticity
- predictive processing
- attention networks
- machine learning models
The book presents meditation not as mysticism, but as a structured system for training attention and understanding the mind.

- Neural networks and brain systems involved in attention
- How habits and memory patterns form and change
