5 For related discussion, see Brueckner (1999) and BruCckner (2001). 6 See, again, the papers in Ludlow and Martin for discussion of this point. 7 See Bmeckner (1998) and (1986a) and Wright (1992b) for other versions of the objection. 8 For further discussion of the 'question-begging' objection, see Brueckner (1992a) and (1996). 9 Here I am indebted to an unpublished paper by Byeong-uk Yi, 'Skepticism and Brains in a Vat'. 10 This parallels the earlier point that in the current dialectical context, I cannot simply assume that my concept of water, unlike my concept of phlogiston, successfully applies to an existing natural kind. 11 For further discussion, see Brueckner (1992a). 12 For a similar objection, see Falvey and Owens (1994). 13 Thanks here to Rogers Albritton. 14 Thanks to Ram Neta for supplying the happy ending. 15 This paper was presented at a session of Society for Skeptical Studies at the Pacific Division APA in San Francisco. I benefited from the occasion. Chapter 16

Automatic self-transcending includes techniques designed to transcend their own activity. This contrasts with focused attention, which keeps attention focused on an object; and open monitoring, which keeps attention involved in the moni...

Arousal vs. Relaxation: A Comparison of the Neurophysiological and Cognitive Correlates of Vajrayana and Theravada Meditative Practices
Based on evidence of parasympathetic activation, early studies defined meditation as a relaxation response. Later research attempted to categorize meditation as either involving focused or distributed attentional systems. Neither of these hypotheses received strong empirical support, and most of the studies investigated Theravada style meditative practices. In this study, we compared neurophysi...
