Sorry; of course there is also the "dissolution" type meditation that activates yet another part of the brain.
Interestingly, it seems that the studies' authors don't feel this necessarily identifies anything unique about meditating "The present single case study reports the activation of different neuronal assembles during different meditations.It did not address the putative general differences between meditative and non meditative states"
Hi Yasmin,
I think you've got most of it. There's also the idea that the 40hz measure (gamma waves) is one activated by meditative states, so maybe that goes some way to addressing your last point, although they don't make it particularly explicit.
