Some studies of brain waves of meditators show a relatively correlated firing of brain cells."(more at link http://www.siue.edu/~jandris/qtcer.htm ) That's why the Vedic sages introduced the comic book version of the Vedas: the Puranas and the Mahabharata and other works, which present in plain text and easy-to-understand stories everything that is in the Vedas in coded form.
