Joseph Goldstein--one of the primary figures in the development of the Insight Meditation movement--finishes up his conversation with us by sharing his perspective on the recent cross-pollunation of the Buddhist meditation with scientific investigation.  He shares some of the recent studies that he has contributed to--including an in-depth study at the Insight Meditation Society--and also discusses a few research possibilities that he has recommended to scientists.  Finally he shares an interesting idea he had for creating a "virtual bardo machine." 

This is part 2 of a two-part series.  Listen to part 1, Joseph Goldstein on the Benefits of Long Term Practice.
