An experimental study of the effect of neuromuscular blockade on EEG-based measures of awareness

Scientific Reports May 2, 2026 Sebastian Halder, Bjørn Erik Juel, Kenneth J Pope et al.

Both basic and clinical consciousness research aims to find objective measures that reliably distinguish conscious from unconscious brain states. Electroencephalogram (EEG) measures are widely used, although they may be affected by interference from electrical signals such as those generated by muscles. To assess this source of error, we investigated the impact of neuromuscular blockade (NMB)...

Electroencephalographic correlates of states of concentrative meditation.

International journal of psychophysiology : official journal of the International Organization of Psychophysiology December 2016 Dylan DeLosAngeles, Graham Williams, John Burston et al.

Meditative techniques aim for and meditators report states of mental alertness and focus, concurrent with physical and emotional calm. We aimed to determine the electroencephalographic (EEG) correlates of five states of Buddhist concentrative meditation, particularly addressing a correlation with meditative level. We studied 12 meditators and 12 pair-matched meditation-naïve participants using...
