Cognitive Science of Yoga

Exploring the mind-body connection through cognitive science and contemplative practice test

About the Project

Cognitive Science of Yoga is a research group born in Berlin in 2025. Our project starts from the curiosity to understand the scientific bases of how yoga, meditation, and similar contemplative practices affect human cognition, interoception, consciousness, and well-being. Our team brings together researchers from neuroscience, psychology, philosophy of mind, and teachers and practitioners of contemplative practices to produce rigorous, accessible scientific knowledge.
