Producer Dr. James J Hughes interviews Dr. James Austin about his book Zen and The Brain (2000). Dr. Austin describes stages in attentiveness, a focus on meditation to calm the brain and clarify the mind, and shares how Zen deals more with what you may comprehend when your senses are awakened to the present moment. He discusses the absorptions, samadhi, and distinguishes how peak experiences in Zen increase the experience that our notions     of self are transitory.
