Peter Gamma from www.petergamma.org was looking for such over the last 30 years, but unfortunately he has not found a single one to this date. But according to the Buddhist teachings this should be possible:
And since the PNAS paper from 2004 there is evidence from science that this should be possible as well:
https://www.pnas.org/doi/full/10.1073/pnas.0407401101
To become completely sane which is according to the Buddhist tradition equivalent to be fully enlightened takes time. Thích Nhất Hạnh says young monks become enlightened very fast. We suppose it is around 12 years for those who do a full-time training as a young person. And for older people it takes longer.
We suppose that the scientific data are there in the years 2024 to proof this, but not from people who are publicly funded. And those who have the scientific data want no to make money out of it.
And they start selling now Laghsam Tibetan Meditation, from which they know it will be failure, Altered Traits from which scientists say «20 min. of daily meditaion training can change your brain in an objectively measurable way, but sow what now?», and Rob ter Horst want to sell 100 smartwatches, but so what now? And all of these product sellers continue to sell products, such as scientifically validated meditation training with brain scanners only for rich people, but so what now?
If all of this is interesting also for the whole society, all of this knowledge will be available for everyone sooner or later, and also the scientifically validated training methods.
