[Buddha-l] meditation, science, the brain -- new studies

[Dan Lusthaus]

"A new study has found that participating in an eight-week meditation 
training program can have measurable effects on how the brain functions even 
when someone is not actively meditating. In their report in the November 
issue of Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, investigators at Harvard Medical 
School-affiliated Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), Boston University 
(BU), and several other research centers also found differences in those 
effects based on the specific type of meditation practiced."
