EASE Lab

Description

The EASE Lab is a network of contemplative science researchers at the University of Toronto that meets monthly to discuss research and inspire collaboration. As the advanced research arm of the Buddhism, Psychology and Mental Health (BPMH) Program, the network connects researchers and students across University of Toronto. BPMH is an interdisciplinary undergraduate Minor that allows students to choose from a wide range of courses in Buddhist Studies, cognitive science, medical anthropology, psychology of religion, health psychology, and sociological analyses of physical and mental health. With this training, students learn how Buddhist traditions have interacted with and contributed to global and diverse understandings of consciousness, mental health and illness, and determinants of physical health. The program responds to a growing public dialogue between scientists, academics and health practitioners about the contributions of Buddhism to understanding physical and mental health.
