I'd be curious to see a similar study on active meditators. People who actively work to quiet their minds might have a better chance of doing so in a study. Meditating makes you realize just how much noise is in your head. Between starting meditation and where I am now I notice a stark difference in my brain. A lot of it comes from the environment too. We listen to songs on repeat, advertisements are burnt into our memories, we have emotions, there's just so much for our brains to drone on about. It is absolutely possible to quiet your inner monologue. I'd be really interested to see what it looks like in a brain scan.
