Using psychophysical assessments, we compared 31 expert meditators with 33 matched controls (non-meditators who engage in regular reading, more than 5 h per week) in terms of somatosensory accuracy with a somatosensory signal...

In this study, we compared 31 expert meditators with 33 matched controls on somatosensory accuracy using a somatosensory signal...
