loch, you also you mentioned another part of the brain a structure called the thalmus. that is a very interesting part of our brain. it is actually a central structure, it does, as you said it helps different parts of the brain to communicate with each other and connects the sensory information that comes to our train what we hear and sense and smell and so forth, and see, all of this comes to the structure called the thalamus. when he started out we looked adlong term meditators versus non-meditators. what we found there was asymmetry. one was more active than the other side. this was kind of interesting. sort of the chicken and the egg question. was it because they had been meditating so long or was it something they were kind of inherently built with? in our most recent studies we're looking at taking somebody and, actually having them go through a meditation program, what we're finding is this thalamus seems to be one of this very key areas that is effected by this practice. i have another, segue, beautifully into my next slide. >> yeah. i'm for the chickens. >> he i
