There are now four undergraduate RA's in the Sleep Lab who are helping catalog meditation research into a spreadsheet (you can access a version of this spreadsheet through our website). If you are a researcher with lots of meditation studies on your hard drive, please let us know, and we can give these studies to the RA's to comb through and add to our spreadsheet.
