Objective measures of cognitive load are essential for understanding how the brain and body respond to demanding tasks and how meditation modulates these responses. This study examines nonlinear complexity features from electroencephalography (EEG) and heart rate variability (HRV) for distinguishing rest from task states and assessing meditation effects during cognitive tasks. Cognitive load...
Mantra meditation is widely recognized for enhancing cognition and autonomic regulation; however, its specific impact on cognitive load remains underexplored. Existing research often relies on subjective assessments or conventional electroencephalogram (EEG) spectral analysis, lacking objective, integrated evaluation frameworks. To address this gap, this study combines physiological signals...
Meditation methods, which have their origins in ancient traditions are gaining popularity as a result of their potential mental and physical health advantages. EEG neural correlates underlying enhanced cognitive abilities such as sustained attention and working memory need to be analyzed scrutinizingly to evaluate the effects of meditation practices. In this article, we thus provide an analysis...
