#2You can actually use these electrical signatures to make meditation a trackable, quantifiable "exercise activity". Just like you log running miles with, say, RunKeeper. Really cool to see more people getting excited about it the science! Disclaimer: cofounder at a startup doing this.

#3If we some how view a "3D Spectrogram of Gamma waves" of people across the globe, then it will have peaks (like Himalayas) in and around Tibet. Everywhere else, there will be Troughs/Valleys.

Sorry if others don't like this but can you elaborate either by pointing me at your startup, with more science or both? I'm going to go on a Google spree but I'm curious about your take.
This is completely foreign to me, it fails my bs test but to hear not just the words scientific, but quantifiable, piques my interest.

Can you post a small sample of eeg data and a code snippet that shows the transformation of the raw telemetry into the power spectrum? That would be very interesting and would answer doubts.

#7I first misread the HN link's title as "gamma rays" and thought a radioactive monk sounded awesome! Then I read the actual article, I am disappoint...

Their startup is http://brainbot.me
I'd love to hear a description about what you're trying to do there though.

#9If I'm not mistaken, this is a very thin veneer of science applied to a thick spread of dogma.
1. Test shows that smart subject is smart (capacity to learn, etc).
2. Subject of the test says meditation makes you happy.
3. The author then tries to make science say meditation makes you happy: 'It is not difficult to see why scientists declared Matthieu Ricard the happiest man they had ever tested.'

My gamma waves must be low because I too read it as "gamma rays"
