Body scan meditation is a popular mindfulness practice in which a person directs their attention toward internal bodily sensations. Although its neural mechanisms have been investigated using functional magnetic resonance imaging, few studies have used functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) to directly measure prefrontal networks during body scan meditation. In this study, symptoms of...
