| Abstract: | The study of meditation is an obvious choice in attempting to gain insight into the neurobiological correlate of consciousness and the self. A wide variety of meditation techniques exist, and all involve voluntary changes in states and contents of consciousness. In this chapter, discussion focuses on the following topics: Meditation and the Medial Core of Consciousness and The Medial Core and Self-Representation. The chapter begins with an examination into the results of a positron emission tomography (PET) investigation of yoga nidra relaxation meditation compared with the normal resting conscious state.
