One of the long-term practitioners investigated in this paper was Mingyur Rinpoche. In the following video, Richard R. Davidson talks about the experiments which where done with him:

But what is the sate of the affairs of meditation research in Switzerland in the year 2024? We have two long-term practitioners in Switzerland as well, and that is Loten Dahortsang and Lama Pema Wangyal. Both of them spent as far as we know around 17 years in the Rikon Tibet Institute Monastry in Switzerland. But what do they do know?
Loten Dahortsang records CDs with Tina Turner:

So where do we have a Center of Healthy Minds in Switzerland? Not at the MRIS:
All the scientists except for Peter Gamma have moved out. And a woman from India has moved in. And there are two more neighbors who behave as the young people who lived at the MRIS who said that they are sick and need help.
Are there other meditation research projects than the one of Peter Gamma from www.petergamma.org in the year 2024? We do not know of such. Isn’t that a shame for Switzerland?
