Today I start my PhD studies at UCL's Centre for Consciousness Research! @uccr.bsky.social Here I will work with advanced practitioners of Dzogchen ('Great Perfection'; a Tibetan contemplative tradition), to neurophenomenologically assess the landscapes of conscious experience these practices unlock
