Do you mean the non-meditator subjects were all thinking of the aspect of a green apple that was most "vivid" to them? I'm not going anywhere near how our brains are responding to this, because I've learned just enough about them to know I know nothing and can predict nothing about how they'll react.
But we can all hold the same general intent, right?
I feel like I'm contradicting what I was saying earlier, not my intent to confuse people-- I'm jes' going' with the conversational flow here.
