The research phase on Buddhist meditation is now well established. In fact it's moved beyond the research stage to the creation of a truly non-sectarian meditation form, where HH the Dalai Lama has worked with leading world scientists to create this cutting edge deep meditation. IIRC they're on their second TTC in their state-of-the-art facility. Now there's no need to worry about getting a stealth meditation form that would conflict with Judaeo-Christian or other religious values. Good primers on the research would be Destructive Emotions: How Can We Overcome Them? A Scientific Dialogue with the Dalai Lama by Daniel Goleman or The Mindful Brain: Reflection and Attunement in the Cultivation of Well-Being by Daniel Siegel.
