Does the phrase "doing ONE OF the Buddhist meditation techniques" not imply that there is more than one technique? IT is interesting to note that there was NO observed difference in alpha EEG coherence between meditators and controls in the Buddhist study. That's an accumulative effect from TM. Obviousy. a technique with TM-like effects had not been regularly practiced by any of the Buddhist meditators studied. Another obvious difference is that "mastery" of TM as demonstrated by during-technique effects comes within a few months. Not-so with the Buddhist mediators. Again, no idea what any of this MEANS, but it certainly shows that one can't generalize the effects of meditation techniques.
