"Lots of activities can boost the size of various parts of the pre-frontal cortex – video games, for example"

This doesn't mean that:

1. Any activity that requires focus has the same effect on the prefrontal cortex of meditation.

2. Video games have the same effect on the prefrontal cortex as meditation.

Also, using this article to support your position is an interesting choice, given that you have previously said that "There are no proven benefits to meditation" and this article discusses proven benefits of meditation.

Actually, the very quote you provided mentions "range of physical as well as mental health benefits", presumably referring to meditation (or "mindfulness practice").

I am yet to see any real evidence of those claims.
