Meditation

A study of Buddhist monks that the Dalai Lama picked, you know, the monks that he thought were the most awakened and then put them in an MRI machine found their brains were different than non-meditators. The main thing that is beefed up is the insula, the two insular cortices, which govern how you feel your guts, how you feel inside of your body. You actually have kind of a bigger graphics processor in your mind, right? So it's getting more details. It makes sense because you're feeling your internal experience so much that it's building up that ability to feel internal experience in a more fine-grained way.
