  But but, if you have your baby born and unborn listen to beethoven it's supposed to make them smarter! That's probably a misconception though :P
  

  
  
  of course it's a misconception you silly goose!
  my memory/cognition professor is actually one of the people who debunked that quite a few years ago. if you're interested I'll explain why but right now I'm a little lazy. I'll just say what actually mattered the most was the arousal levels of the subjects (not sexual)

  all it's done is provided evidence, really. It was already known that meditation is correlated with positive affect, that's pretty basic.
  
  what WAS a little surprising is the changes in the hippocampus, since it's relating to learning and memory consolidation. I wouldn't think meditation would increase connections there.
