Combining Behavior and EEG to Study the Effects of Mindfulness Meditation on Episodic Memory

Journal of Visualized Experiments May 11, 2020 Erika Nyhus, William A. Engel, Tomas Donatelli Pitfield et al. 17 citations

Although there has been recent interest in how mindfulness meditation can affect episodic memory as well as brain structure and function, no study has examined the behavioral and neural effects of mindfulness meditation on episodic memory. Here we present a protocol that combines mindfulness meditation training, an episodic memory task, and EEG to examine how mindfulness meditation changes...

Increases in Theta Oscillatory Activity During Episodic Memory Retrieval Following Mindfulness Meditation Training

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience September 4, 2019 Erika Nyhus, W. Engel, Tomas Donatelli Pitfield et al.

Mindfulness meditation has been shown to improve episodic memory and increase theta oscillations which are known to play a role in episodic memory retrieval. The present study examined the effect of mindfulness meditation on episodic memory retrieval and theta oscillations. Using a longitudinal design, subjects in the mindfulness meditation experimental group who underwent 4 weeks of...
