While reading the BBC's article about "Brains of Buddhist monks scanned in meditation study" I noticed that I did not always like the wording used there.
For example: "The extrinsic portion of the brain becomes active when individuals are focused on external tasks, like playing sports or pouring a cup of coffee.
The default network churns when people reflect on matters that involve themselves and their emotions."
I think, there is quite a difference between "portion" and "network", and in the context of the article, - the former is rather beyond the acceptable borders of preciseness for such a subject, while the latter seems fine.
So it brought me to a subject about a quality of the media interpreting of scientific research. It seems to be not attentive enough. I wonder if an alternative media of more qualified people could be a win-win business idea? By win-win I mean my hope that it works as a successful business, and at the same time the quality of the information is much better.
"I'd love to see DMN scan results for people doing focused, positive visualization or in positive guided relaxation." - I remember some news on that, mentioning monks meditation. Let me google.

Not sure though if that was DMN activity in particular. Reading through right now.
