Über den Autor Steven Laureys

Steven Laureys, neurologista belga, é reconhecido como um dos maiores especialistas do mundo no estudo científico da consciência. Neurologista clínico e diretor de pesquisa do Fundo Nacional de Pesquisa Científica (FNRS) na Universidade de Liège, na Bélgica, e diretor do renomado Coma Science Group, tornou-se referência internacional ao investigar, com tecnologias de ponta como fMRI, PET scan e EEG de alta densidade, como o cérebro funciona - tanto em condições extremas, como coma e consciência mínima, quanto em estados de atenção e presença que demandam um profundo treinamento. Ele é titular da Cátedra de Excelência em Pesquisa do Canadá em Neuroplasticidade, no CERVO Brain Re search Centre, na Universidade de Laval; professor convidado no BIDMC, Harvard Medical School, e editor-chefe da Brain Connectivity. Nos últimos anos, tem se dedicado a explorar a neurociência da meditação, liderando pesquisas pioneiras com meditadores experientes, monges budistas e praticantes de mindfulness. Seus estudos revelam, com rigor e clareza inéditos, como a prática meditativa modifica a estrutura e a atividade cerebrais, fortalecendo redes de atenção, regulação emocional e bem-estar. Além de suas contribuições clínicas, ele se destaca por aproximar ciência e prática, traduzindo descobertas complexas em conhecimento acessível ao público leigo. Reconhecido por prêmios como o Young Investigator Award e o William James Award, Laureys é autor de diversos artigos científicos e livros de divulgação científica. Seu trabalho tem transformado a maneira como entendemos a mente - do silêncio interior à consciência plena -, mostrando que meditar é, antes de tudo, um treinamento cerebral poderoso, mensurável e ao alcance de todos
