Certain types of meditation have been shown to exhibit different neural signals compared to those who do not (do a google scholar search for "Occipital gamma activation during Vipassana meditation").

Those who meditate also tend to have a much shortened "Attentional Blink". This is quite interesting as it shows a brain reorganisation which allows for greater information intake and filtering. You can find youtube and wikipedia entries for "Attentional Blink".
