Yes.
And even if you weren't a scientist/statistician you could wade
through the previously posted U. of Alberta study to see he specifics
in regards to health claims, esp. re: bias. The article on
Neuroscience and Meditation in the Cambridge Handbook of Consciousness
is also rather honest on meditation research in general, but also on
the specious claims of the TMO.
