Inferring jhana-type advanced concentration absorption meditation (ACAM-J) states from fMRI data is challenging due to the spatially distributed nature of meditation-related effects, substantial inter-individual variability that can exceed within-subject state differences, and limited sample sizes. Conventional machine-learning approaches often formulate this problem as unimodal, Euclidean,...
