We can induce neurogenesis, and other epigenetic alterations within these criminals, with the possible neurophysical correlations to their potentially new-found interests for loving compassion, having valuable global implications.

EEG studies on the other hand can provide a window into the brain activity of a subject who is moving around. Or alternatively one can be in the scan and imaging that he/she is moving or playing the piano etc. Thinking about doing something produces very similar activation to actually engaging in the activity. And that might be another way to understand the underlying brain circuitry of different activities.

I have been studying Chi Gong for about nine years now, and I wonder what an fMRI would show when I do my exercises and meditations.
