New research reveals how meditation changes the brain
By Peter B. Reiner

Neuroscientists will never ever get to define brain function in a way to control it from its relative aspect. Whatever effective , creative and intelligent ways utilized to "understand" in order to "control" would lead to failure.

Why? This is due to many factors. The key factor to understand anything is to invent certain thing of the same level. To work from the gross to a subtle state of the brain is nonsense and an everlasting void. The effective correct way has to be in the opposite direction i.e working from the subtle states of the mind to understand its function on the gross level.

Does the thought originate from the gross level of one's consciousness? Does it come by chance or has the thought originated from subtle states?
