If you have had the chance to view the Stanford research paper here on the blog, then you will also see the oral and graphic presentation that accompanied the paper (if this is not up yet, it will be very soon).  In the graphic presentation there is a photo of a Tibetan monk, who was a member of a group, volunteered by the Dalai Lama to undergo experiments regarding the different phases of brain wave activity that accompanied the monks when in meditation.  This research was a blast to do.  The process of preparing the monks for the experiments was arduous and each experiment involved the placement of 256 electrodes to the head of each monk.  Can you imagine the amount of time it would take to complete this task?

The Tibetan Buddhist monks, as we all know, are incredible.  They are a basic key to understanding how mind works.  What they can do with their minds is nothing less than miraculous.  Hopefully we will have an opportunity to explore this area too.
