The aim of this study is to provide neuroscientists a framework through which to interpret Tantra, and thereby provide a foundation upon which future interdisciplinary study can be built.

Methods: We juxtapose Tantric concepts such as the subtle body, nadis and mantras with relevant neuroscientific findings.

Our premise is that through sustained internalization of attention, Tantric practitioners were able to identify and document subtle changes in their field of awareness, which usually do not cross the threshold to come into our perception.

Results: Descriptions by Tantric philosophers are often detailed & empirical, but they are about subjective phenomena, not external objects. They also focus on individual experiences, rather than group-level analyses favored by modern medical science.

between first-person and third-person approaches to the nervous system. This may open up new avenues for cognitive enhancement and treating neurological diseases.
