Why in the world is this being downvoted?

ScienceDaily is a highly reputable source, AFAIK.

I guess lemmy doesn't believe in meditation huh, wild. It's amazing.

Funny. The very paper itself is proposing that belief isn't needed, because we have measurables. Or you can look at the real-world, impressive work of Mark Epstein, who does a great job coming at meditation (and Buddhism) from both an insider and an outsider's perspective. (he's a trained and licensed psychiatrist)

So maybe it's really more of an anti-belief thing here?
