Mapping Neuro signal Alterations through Meditative Practices: A Systematic Review with EEG and BCI Insights
International Journal of Drug Delivery Technology May 5, 2026 Ms. Lalita Moharkar, Monika Bhagwat
A structured review of meditation research using EEG, neuroimaging, and brain–computer interfaces finds that meditation consistently increases alpha and theta brainwave activity, enhances neural coherence, and modulates networks for attention and emotional regulation. However, challenges remain, including limited dataset diversity, lack of standardized protocols, and minimal use of real-time adaptive systems. The authors propose an integrated framework combining standardized signal acquisition, machine learning, and real-time feedback for personalized meditation assessment, aiming to bridge neuroscience and engineering for scalable mental health and cognitive enhancement tools.
