On a similar topic, I remember once hearing about a Hindu yogi who had sealed himself up for seven days with no food and not enough air. He then went into a meditative state for the week, slowing his breathing and basically hibernating. At the end of the seven days, he came out of the meditative state, and acted as if nothing out of the ordinary had happened.

The actions of the yogi make me wonder what makes his brain and body able to function vastly different than those of others do, and if the yogi’s brain structure has changed through repeatedly doing meditative activities, such as the one described in the previous paragraph. Judging by the study done on Tibetan monks, I would not be surprised if the yogi’s brain is in fact different because he constantly meditates.
