Those transformed states have traditionally been understood in transcendent terms, as something outside the world of physical measurement. But in the past few years, researchers at the University of Wisconsin working with Tibetan monks have translated those mental experiences into the scientific language of high-frequency gamma waves and brain synchrony, or co-ordination."
