Interesting because one of the researchers is probably the most qualified man in the world to comment on EEG, having been the section editor of the state of the art work on Human electroencephalography, esp. electroencephalography and meditation. Davidson's also the man who's systematically mapped the correlates of alpha. These guys ain't no slouchers. ;-) But I agree, it's probably not worth discussing without someone willing to be honest and objective. Fundamentalists aren't likely to change their beliefs, but they will do whatever they can to obfuscate and misdirect, a form of dishonesty common in fundamentalists of many sorts.
