The Dalai Lama the 14 asked Richard R. Davidson to investigate the Tibetan Buddhist meditation practices with the latest scientific methods, and to test if they are effective. This has been discussed in the following video:
A consequence of this was the PNAS paper from 2004:
Long-term meditators self-induce high-amplitude gamma synchrony during mental practice
https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.0407401101
But where do we stand more than 20 years later after this paper has been published? Do we have more than:
«Altered Traits»
and the Center of Healthy Minds?

What is the answer of Peter Gamma from www.petergamma.org?
Peter says, yes, we have more than this. We have additionally the:
Meditation Research Institute Switzerland (MRIS)
Which is a private project of Peter Gamma from www.petergamma.org on his personal website. Peter is critical and has no grant for research. And his interest is very personal. And one of Peters personal interests is if there are new scientific ways to get a healthy mind based on scientific findings triggered be the projects mentioned above. Peter does not know of such new treatments which would be scientifically validated and proofen. And Peters psychotherapist did not mention such new forms of treatement as well.
