Coming from a position where the main concerns are of the contemporary view of the relationship between the mind and the brain being inherently dualistic and the limitations of language which itself is bound in dualism, I look to concepts of light, space and emptiness as we continue to tread the same path of recurring mental activity which is obscuring our relationship with the present moment. Be that present moment in any space, urban or otherwise. However it is precisely the large bombardment of sensory stimuli and activity found in the Urban setting that calls for interventions for Space of Mind.

Seeing Bio and Neuro feedback techniques as one method of developing awareness, I wonder if it is possible to construct experiences or non-experiences that allow the viewer (subject) to define for themselves, through experience, the difference between conceptual and non-conceptual mental activity.

If I were a Neuroscientist this would be a question I would like to explore by seeing if there are observable physical differences in the brain between these two modes of perception.

Where to start with devising interventions, tools or spaces that would support and encourage such mental non-activity, in a conscious way...
