Here's a video that tries to research the meditative experience. I don't know what my attitude to it is but at one point it seems to try to play the martyr card when confronted by science. I think Thor or maybe someone else at one time said this type of research is interesting.

This short documentary reveals the exploratory work of a team from the University of Montreal who seek to understand the states of grace experienced by mystics and those who meditate. Filmmaker Isabelle Raynauld offers up scientific research that suggests that mystical ecstasy is a transformative experience and could contribute to people's psychic and physical health, treat depression and speed up the healing process when combined with conventional medicine. In French with English subtitles.
