ACCELERATED MEDITATION WITH NEUROIMAGING GUIDED NEUROMODULATION - WE PROPOSE TO RECRUIT MEDITATORS WITH VARYING DEGREES OF VIPASSANA MEDITATION EXPERIENCE. THIS WORK WILL LEVERAGE NEUROIMAGING (FMRI AND EEG) AND MACHINE-LEARNING, IN CONJUNCTION WITH EXPONENTIAL RANDOM GRAPH MODELING (ERGM), TO IDENTIFY MEDITATOR-SPECIFIC BRAIN-STATES ASSOCIATED WITH DEEP MEDITATIVE EXPERIENCES AND, SUBSEQUENTLY, UTILIZE NEUROMODULATION (LIFUP) TO "NUDGE" MEDITATORS' BRAINS INTO SAID STATES. THE SPECIFIC AIMS OF THE PROTOCOL ARE TO 1) DECREASE THE AMOUNT OF TIME IT TAKES TO REACH SUCH AN INTENDED STATE, 2) INCREASE THE EXPERIENTIAL DURATION OF SAID STATE, AND 3) IDENTIFY THE NEURAL CORRELATES ASSOCIATED WITH ACHIEVING DEEP MEDITATIVE EXPERIENCES ACROSS INDIVIDUALS.ACCELERATED MEDITATION WITH VIRTUAL REALITY AND NEUROFEEDBACK - WE PROPOSE TO RECRUIT MEDITATORS WITH VARYING DEGREES OF VIPASSANA MEDITATION EXPERIENCE.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
