Graph theory has been playing an increasingly important role in understanding the organizational properties of brain networks, subsequently providing new tools for the search of neural correlates of consciousness, particularly in the context of patients recovering from severe brain injury. However, this approach is not without challenges, as it usually relies on arbitrarily fixing a threshold...
Meditation induces a distinct and reversible mental state that provides insights into brain correlates of consciousness. We explored brain network changes related to meditation by graph theoretical analysis of resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging data. Eighteen Taoist meditators with varying levels of expertise were scanned using a within-subjects counterbalanced design during...
