20 years after the study “Long-term meditators self-induce high-amplitude gamma synchrony during mental practice” (part I) – has this paper induced a revolution in neurotechnology?

Last Updated on April 25, 2024 by pg@petergamma.org

In 2004, the group of Richard Davidson published a paper about:

«Long-term meditators self-induce high-amplitude gamma synchrony during mental practice»

https://www.pnas.org/doi/full/10.1073/pnas.0407401101

Matthieu Ricard, Buddhist monk with a PhD. in Cellular Genetics who participated in this study called this paper a paper which might be revolutionary, which he hoped it would be published in Nature 20 years ago. Peter Gamma from www.petergamma.org calls this paper revolutionary, since it was revolutionary for him personally and his life.

This PNAS paper from 2004 is shortly reviewed in the following video by

Cody Rall MD. certified Navy trained Psychiatrist showed us in 2021 how to:

Was this video not also a consequence of the the 2004 PNAS paper as well? And Cody Rall MD. showed us the best brain devices for 2024 in the following video:

But has the scientific revolution happened in the year 2024, from which Matthieu Ricard. PhD. spoke 20 years ago?

Has Cody Rall MD mentioned this revolution on his channel Techforpsych? Peter Gamma from www.petergamma.org does not know anything about this, since he did not watch all of Cody Rall’s videos. But Peter Gamma, Physiologist & Director of the Meditation Research Institute Switzerland (MRIS) does not know of such a revoution which would have happened up to the year 2024, at least not in Switzerland where he lives.

But one of the favorite revolution of Peter Gamma from www.petergamm.org is the revolutionary life of Milarepa. Milarepa was born in 1052 in Tibet, and the life of Milarepa is shortly reviewed in the following video by Sadhguru:

And also aconsequence of the PNAS paper from 2004 about meditation by Richard Davidson was the the founding of the:
