The project that has the best chance of drastically accelerating the acquisition of mindfulness is the SEMA lab at University of Arizona. They essentially use a fancy helmet to fire ultrasounds at specific regions of the brain, temporarily downmodulating those regions. The research is still early stage, but from what I’ve heard this can have an enormous impact on meditation depending on which regions they choose to fire at. In practical terms this would involve graduate studies in neuroscience in labs working with intra-cranial ultrasounds.
