Mind and Life is an organization with a mission to bring together Western Science with Eastern Contemplative Science. They have been integrating Buddhist practice and Neuroscience for many years. The latest conference was the first one bringing in the idea of Hinduism , Jainism, Yoga and Vedanta.
If you have the time it would be worth your while to watch all of these sessions that are posted for free. I found this one below particularly interesting talking specifically about yoga meditation practice , the parallels and differences to Buddhism and what scientists in India are learning about the physiological affects of yoga practice.
Enjoy !
