WHich is why he says the following in his bio: http://www.ceed.pdx.edu/ipnb/faculty.shtml "John Kesterson, PhD, is founder, president and CEO of VayTek Inc. VayTek specializes in integrated hardware and software systems for science, research, microscopy, and engineering. Dr. Kesterson's PhD is in neuroscience; his dissertation investigated the neurophysiology of consciousness, with an emphasis on the neural and metabolic control of respiration during meditation. Dr. Kesterson is a co-founder of Vital Images, Inc., one of the first companies in the United States to develop high-speed 3-D rendering techniques for MRI and CT scans, as well as viewing of microscope images. The company also developed brain mapping software and other tools for imaging cellular and sub-cellular activity of the brain and nervous system. They pioneered several novel techniques for computer enhanced imaging in neuroscience, including deconvolution and specific 3-D and 4-D rendering techniques. The company partnered with the Image Analysis facility at the University of Iowa and commercialized many of the software tools developed there, including imaging tools created by Antonio and Hannah Damasio as part of their research on brain function. Dr. Kesterson's personal interest continues to be in the area of meditation, eastern religions, and the relationship of consciousness to the human brain." Now, it may be that he no longer practices TM and it is true that he hasn't published anything that I can find on the subject since that one study, but he still touts his association with Vital IMages, which is where Vincent Argirio (Argiro Student Center at MUM) made his money, so it seems plausible he kept his opinions about TM to himself for a while... or that Dr. Argiro didn't care one way or another, of course. From the above, we see that John Kesterson also claims to continue to have an interest in meditation research, though of course, perhaps he no longer practices nor investigates TM. Lawson
