From time immemorial, the notion of ‘Mind’ has tinkered the philosophers and scientists. The ancient Indian philosophies understood the Mind and explained the processes to understand life. Contrary to this, modern neuroscience has progressed significantly in explaining the brain, its components, structural and functional connectivities and processes. Still the enigma called “MIND’ and its deeper questions remain. Does Neuroscience map with the older models evolving from the Indian Knowledge Systems? Is there a continuity in the knowledge about Mind, Brain and behaviour, from past to future? This special session is aimed at unraveling the attempts to reveal the link, interface and questions between the rich Indian knowledge systems that addressed ‘Mind’ and the state of the art neuroscience.
