Investigation of consciousness (experience, mind, awareness, subjectivity) has become an accepted endeavor in contemporary neuroscience. However, current work is largely limited to study of neural correlates of consciousness. While this is interesting and important, it may not be sufficient to carry us to a place of truly new insight regarding consciousness. I argue that one element of expanding a science of consciousness is appreciation of the interdependent co-creation or enfolding of mind and world. Addressing this interdependence is an aspect of the collaborative engagement of the traditions of Buddhism and science-a project that is exploring how complementary worldviews and analytic procedures might further the development of an expanded science of mind. In this essay, written for a collection honoring the life and work of Jack Pettigrew, I describe his connection to this project.
对意识（体验、思维、意识、主观性）的研究已成为当代神经科学中一种被广泛接受的研究方法。然而，目前的工作主要局限于研究意识的神经相关物。虽然这很有趣且重要，但可能不足以让我们对意识有真正全新的认识。我认为，扩展意识科学的一个要素是认识到思维和世界的相互依存的共同创造或融合。关注这种相互依存关系是佛教和科学传统的合作参与的一个方面，该项目正在探索互补的世界观和分析程序如何能够进一步发展扩展的思维科学。在这篇为纪念杰克·佩蒂格鲁的生平和工作而写的文章中，我描述了他与该项目的联系。
