In the paper they are asking whether it would be possible to identify behavioral, cognitive or neurological determinants of "enlightenment". Pretty interesting that these things are being written in scientific journals. 

They specifically talk about Mahasi tradition.

I would be curious to hear what people here think about that question also.

I'm glad they are doing what Dan was hoping for measuring progress on the path.
