This work was funded by a 5-year Fellowship awarded to TM by the Gutenberg Research College, Johannes Gutenberg-Universität Mainz (https://www.grc.uni-mainz.de/). The funder had no role in study design, data collection and analysis, decision to publish, or preparation of the manuscript.
But unfortunately, we did not find any new papers of Alex Gamma. PhD. in Zurich, since July 14, 2021, when the above PLOS ONE paper has been published. Are there other meditation research projects in Switzerland and Germany which would be worth mentioning? What is your opinion about this topic? Write it in the comments below.
