Abstract
Meditation continues to be proposed for improving people’s use of their brains by changing ease of communication between cerebral hemispheres, or by changing their functional dissimilarities. We report the first tachistoscopic hemiretinae recognition test of asymmetry in meditators as opposed to nonmeditators.
