Does anyone have a link or citation to actual research that supports this claim? It sounds plausible, I just want to check and see exactly how strong the evidence is before investing dozens of hours and/or a few thousand bucks.

re: zen meditation, I recommend reading Search Inside Yourself. It’s a book about meditation written by a google employee. It contains a decent number of citations.
