  • Similar to a study which compares ZEN meditation to psilocybin at the University of Zurich?
  • The one which was performed by Vanja Palmers?

  • Described in the following video by Vanja Palmers from the Mind Foundation?
  • Vanja Palmers explains the difference between brain scans from brains for instance with high fever to brain scans from brains with Psylocibin.
  • The brain scans of these two cannot cannot be distinguished.

This is a research project at the University of Zurich with Vanja Palmers and Prof. Franz X. Vollenweider

The title of tis post is the hypothesis of Peter Gamma from www.petergamma.org. And he supposes that similar studies are or where performed also at the center of healthy mind in Madison, USD.

But if such clinical studies about meditation assisted by brain scanners are performed somewhere, they are most probaby not publicly funded. Peter Gamma from www.petergamma.org who is very interested in this topic does not know anything about such studies which are publicly funded.
