This is a meetup about meditation. And its effects on the mind. So talking about experiences, the science, meditation methods, tools. And supporting each other during a hard meditation time.

Why?

I thought it could be interesting as:

1. It fits to the definition of a hacker according the Jargon File (Zen-Buddhism)
2. It has effects on the brain
3. Common mental problems seem to be positively affected
4. Mind-Hacking anyone? I mean that is cool!
5. Seems to improve concentration

Goals

1. Making meditation measurable (EEG, Statistics, meditation journals, etc.)
2. EEG-Biofeedback
3. Meditating ;-)
4. Evaluating different meditation methods
5. Other non-meditation brain hacking methods
6. Playing around with psychology/neurology (Models, conditioning, etc.)

On the interwebs

1. "Mönche im Labor" (german) eine ARTE Dokumentation
2. Meditation Talk at Google
3. measuring dreams at LSDBase
4. Meditation & Wissenschaft (german) Kongress
5. Warning: Meditating May Be Hazardous to Your Health
