Brain research is beginning to produce concrete evidence for something that Buddhist practitioners of meditation have maintained for centuries: Mental discipline and meditative practice can change the workings of the brain and allow people to achieve different levels of awareness.

Not neccessarily psychic abilities. You can, however, change life patterns, combat mental illness, change the way your brain responds to your own chemical stimuli, etc...
