Unveiling Brainwave Signatures of Devotional Practices Using OBiGSEN: An EEG-Based Study on Hare Krishna Mahamantra Meditation and Kirtan Kriya

September 11, 2025 Rakesh Kumar, Dushyant Kumar Singh

Electroencephalography-based emotion recognition remains an active research area. Unlike many existing pipelines that rely on large, redundant feature sets, we propose a streamlined yet robust framework to examine the influence of chanting the Hare Krishna mantra (HKM) and its musical rendition (Kirtan) on neuronal dynamics-a relatively unexplored direction. EEG signals were acquired using a...

Metabolomic biomarkers for (R, S)‐ketamine and (S)‐ketamine in treatment‐resistant depression and healthy controls: A systematic review

Bipolar Disorders June 1, 2024 Rakesh Kumar, Nicolas A. Nunez, Neha Joshi et al.

AbstractBackgroundKetamine is increasingly used for treatment‐resistant depression (TRD) while its mechanism of action is still being investigated. In this systematic review, we appraise the current evidence of metabolomic biomarkers for racemic ketamine and esketamine in patients with TRD and healthy controls (HCs).MethodsA comprehensive search of several databases (Ovid MEDLINE®, Embase, and...

An Update on the Efficacy of Single and Serial Intravenous Ketamine Infusions and Esketamine for Bipolar Depression: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Brain Sciences December 22, 2023 Nicolas A. Nunez, Boney Joseph, Rakesh Kumar et al. 20 citations

Ketamine has shown rapid antidepressant and anti-suicidal effects in treatment-resistant depression (TRD) with single and serial intravenous (IV) infusions, but the effectiveness for depressive episodes of bipolar disorder is less clear. We conducted an updated systematic review and meta-analysis to appraise the current evidence on the efficacy and tolerability of ketamine/esketamine in bipolar...
