Anderson Cooper and a team from the US television show “60 Minutes” visited Dr. Jud’s lab to test drive his research equipment. Anderson had been meditating for a month, and Dr. Jud was able to show specific and measurable improvements in his brain over that time.
“When I thought about something stressful, the cells in my brain’s posterior cingulate immediately started firing, shown by the red lines on the computer screen. […] When I let go of those stressful thoughts and refocused on my breath, within seconds the brain cells that had been firing quieted down, shown by blue lines on the computer.”
