Very intriguing, I used to meditate regularly and it made a huge difference in my default state. Now I’m a bit of a loose cannon, and really need to get back to it. Thanks for the prod! Reading this article also reminded me of a most interesting book I recently read:

My stroke of insight

https://a.co/d/2XmwFz6

This author talks about having a whole left hemisphere stroke, and noting how only having her right hemisphere in control was an absolutely mind blowing experience.

For a cliff notes version of all of that, see the author’s TED talk:https://www.ted.com/talks/jill_bolte_taylor_my_stroke_of_insight?utm_campaign=tedspread&utm_medium=referral&utm_source=tedcomshare

Very interesting. Knowing how transcranial magnetic stimulation can warp judgment though, at least temporarily, gives me pause when considering sending any kind of stimulation into the brain, including ultrasound. Lots of room for intriguing future research. Great article, Katrina.

Our mind/brain wont be negatively damaged by meditation is proven one. However, using technology to force meditation needs more studies ? Nevertheless, if it gets regulatory clearance, we will see plethora of ultrasound devices in market :-)
