Here's a study... http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/22363278/?i=10&from=meditation%20focus http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/22363278/?i=10&from... It may have been mentioned already, I just did a simple pubmed search. I would guess that exercise would have some of the same benefits, especially if it's exercise that one forces oneself to do, rather than just a fun activity. I don't have a study for that hypothesis though.

So that's a good start. Is that all we have? I see some credible studies on pubmed (and plenty of studies with all the markers of being useless, some outright mentioning "CAM"-friendly goals in the abstract), but most of them involve things like mindfulness meditation as a method of improving performance on X, where X is some sort of motor-coordination task. What the study you cited suggests interesting research could be done. My big question is that is any sort of hard focus activity of the same quality as meditation?

  Here's one study that I'm familiar with- http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19773563 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19773563 They correlated mindfulness study with improvements in several aspects of mental well-being.
