I was told recently that some study showed the brains of humans lighting up much more when reading using a video screen than with paper, and that essentially digital displays are a stimulant of sorts. Anyone see a study like this before? If it's real, wouldn't it be better to meditate in front of a non-digital interface?

In the guided sessions (as in most other meditative practices I've seen), you're instructed to close your eyes. The imagery is just there to set the stage before and after the meditation; the guidance is audio-only.
I'd really like to hear more about this. If anybody knows where to find it, please reply.
baby steps, baby steps..
You close your eyes during meditation.
