1330. Speculations about potential secret meditation research projects around the world (part I)

Peter Gamma from www.petergamma.org continues the work started here:

https://petergamma.org/tag/potential-secret-meditation-research-projects/

  1. Center of Healthy Mind in Madison USA
  • Will there be an «Altered Traits 02» which continues at the Center of Heathy Mind with a daily practice of 20 min?
  • we suppose not, because of practical reasons.
  • but eventually there is already a statistically relevant group of long-term meditators at the Center of Healthy Mind who is kept secret.

2. Laghsam Tibetan Meditation Zurich

  • Richard Davidson sometimes speak on YouTue from a place which looks like a Buddhist retreat center similar to Laghsam Tibetan Meditation Zurich.
  • Is Laghsam Tibetan Meditation Zurich a copy of thir retreat canter where Richard Davidsons speaks from on YouTube?
  • We suppose that there is a statistically relevant group of long-term meditators who do a full-time training at Laghsam but also in Madison.
  • Teachers and students of Laghsam are eventually brain scanned, for instance at Roche Pharma Basel.
  • We suppose that people who to to Laghsam are a statistically relevant group of poeple who are tracked with brain scanners, else all the flights from around the world to Laghsam and back alone would not make much sense.

3. Rob ter Horst Vienna, Austria

  • Is Rob not basically a sports watch seller?
  • But Rob has shown that he has the potential to life-logging and quantifying everything about him with research and medical grade devices at the highest leve.
  • Could he do this not also as as a full-time meditation training, if this would find a funder?
  • And would this not be better than making simple people believe that Apple smartwatches are miraculous highly accurate, which they are not.
  • The most accurate HRM are 3 channel ECG for runs up to 15 km/h, and not Apple watches and the Polar H10.
  • Someone pays for what Rob ter Horst does, is it his rich family?
  • Rob ter Horst is most proably controlled by a marketing agency which offers him devices to review on YouTube.
  • He used a brain scanner, but only for about 2.5 years:
  • But Rob could also be part of a statistically relevant group of people who do the same as him, and track everything about themselves as a live-long journey.
  • And all of this is controlled by marketing agencies where people like Rob ter Horst work, who want to see how much money can be made out of these data.
  • And all of these are eventually YouTube video makers with their own channels which will suddenly appear on YouTube.
  • But since they most probably are controlled by marketing agency who want them to make money out of the products the present, Peter Gamma from www.petergamma.org does not trust in these channels.
  • They have conflict of interests and their goal is to make money and not to find out the truth.
  • The truth they eventually already have from brain scanner studies which are kept secret.

4. William Croft on the Mount Shasta in California USA

  • would this not be a good place for a retreat center similar to Laghsam Tibetan Meditation Zurich where a statistally relevant group of people is tracked with brain scanners for a full-time training?
  • And Peter Gamma from www.petergamma.org supposed that this already happens there.
  • And William Croft supports a startistically relevant group of students who does a smilar experiment with OpenBCI, starting from bottom to top?
  • But this does not seem to be a co-ordinated project. It seems rather that it is about selling OpenBCI products in the forum.

5. William Croft & OpenBCI Biotechnology Research. Brooklyn, New York

  • In New York the use OpenBCI as well, but we do not know how close they are associated with William Croft on Mount Shasta.

6. Mind Monitor developer James Clutterbuck & his wife at the University of Toronto in Canada

  • Associated with a smilar Center as the Laghsam Tibetan Meditation Center in Zurich?
  • But this accociation center in Toronto is eventually Interaxon and not a Buddhist center such as Laghsam Tibetan Meditation Center.
  • But it would make sense as well that at statistically relevant group of people is tracked around the group of computer scientist James Clutterbuck in Toronto.

7. Spirit Rock Center Californa, USA

  • Meditation courses are offered there which are very expensive.
  • We have no evidence that the also do brain scan studies there.

8. Felsentor Retreat Center Rigi Switzerland

  • Zen priest and million heir Vanja Palmers is founder and president.
  • Vanja Palmers supporst research on Psilocybin.
  • Meditation courses are offered there which are eventually very expensive.

9. Zen priest & million heir Vanja Palmers Switzerland

  • VanjaPalmers speaking from his own personal was not able to induce the same meditative states with practicing meditation than with Psilocybin.
  • Vanja Palmers supports research on Psilocybin.
  • Vanja Palmers is accociated with Prof. Dr. med. Franz X. Vollenweider to do research on Psilocybin.
  • Vanja Palmers & Franz X. Vollenweider do also study meditators with can induce high gamma wave states, and compare those to people who take Psilocybin.
  • But they only found a group of less than 40 to this date which where able to induce these states without Psilocybin.

10. Prof. Franz X. Vollenweider Psychiatry Research, University of Zürich

  • Professor Franz X. Vollenweider does research on Psilocybin.
  • We have no information that Prof. Dr. med. Franz X. Vollenweider does research on meditators as well.
  • Zen priest and million heir Vanja Palmers is associated with Franz X. Vollenweider for research projects.
  • Vanja Palmers eventually funds research on Psilocybin of Franz X. Vollenweider over the Mind Foundation.

11. Rikon Tibet Institute Switzerland

  • Loten Dahortsang teaches there.
  • The institute is funded by funds from Rikon.
  • They support projects in India.
  • There is no evidence that they do brain scans there.
  • Only a small group of Tibetan monks live there.

12. Loten Dahortsang Rikon Tibet Institute Switzerland

  • Is accociated with rhich people such as Grieder Bahnhofstrasse.
  • He sung on CDs with Tina Turner: “Beyond – Buddhist and Christian Prayers”
  • together with Regula Curti, music therapist and singer who runs the Seeschau yoga and therapy center in Zurich.
  • and Dechen Shak-Dagsay, Swiss mantra singer of Tibetan descent.

13. Buddhist Center Zollikon Switzerland

  • Director is Dr. Martin Kalff
  • But Dr. Kalff is sandplay therapist and not neuroscientist.
  • And we do not know of brain scan with Martin Kalff or funded by Martin Kalff.
