Chris Niebauer

Chris Niebauer is a tenured professor at Slippery Rock University in Pennsylvania, specializing in cognitive neuropsychology with a focus on brain lateralization. He earned his Ph.D. from the University of Toledo, where his early research identified connections between neuroscience and Eastern philosophy that were initially dismissed but later validated through his academic career.

• Ph.D. in cognitive neuropsychology (University of Toledo)
• Teaches consciousness, mindfulness, and brain lateralization
• Author of No Self, No Problem and related workbook

His research bridges neuroscience with Buddhist concepts like Anatta (no self), demonstrating how the left brain's narrative-building contributes to mental suffering. He advocates for practices like meditation and sensory grounding to counteract the mind's overactive storytelling.

While his work has gained recognition through books and interviews, no scientific awards or peer-reviewed articles are listed in the provided materials. His teaching and writing emphasize practical applications of Eastern philosophy to modern psychological challenges.
