Neural oscillations predict flow experience.

Cognitive Neurodynamics December 1, 2025 Bingxin Lin, Baoshun Guo, Lingyun Zhuang et al.

Flow experience, characterized by immersion in the activity at hand, provides a motivational boost and promotes positive behaviors. However, the oscillatory representations of flow experience are still poorly understood. In this study, the difficulty of the video game was adjusted to manipulate the individual's personalized flow or non-flow state, and EEG data was recorded throughout. Our...

Complexity as a Potential Neurophysiological Correlate of Awe

bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory) November 21, 2025 Joseph C. C. Chen, Gabriella Mace, Avery Ostrand et al. preprint

Abstract Awe is a positive emotion often accompanied by sensations of vastness and unity, with known benefits for well-being and social behavior. However, its neural underpinnings remain poorly understood. We recorded electroencephalography (EEG) and autonomic physiology in 23 healthy older participants while they watched a nature-based audiovisual film and subjectively rated awe events. Awe...

Exploring the Neural Correlates of Flow Experience with Multifaceted Tasks and a Single-Channel Prefrontal EEG Recording.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland) March 15, 2024 Yuqi Hang, Buyanzaya Unenbat, Shiyun Tang et al. 13 citations

Flow experience, characterized by deep immersion and complete engagement in a task, is highly recognized for its positive psychological impacts. However, previous studies have been restricted to using a single type of task, and the exploration of its neural correlates has been limited. This study aimed to explore the neural correlates of flow experience with the employment of multifaceted...

Exploring the applicability of a multifactor mindfulness scale in the Chinese college context.

Frontiers in Psychology 2024 Dan Zhang, Jianbo Shen, Hongyu Ma 3 citations

The development of a precise and comprehensive mindfulness measurement tool is a compelling area of research due to its lack at present. This study examines the utility of a multifactor mindfulness scale, particularly the Chinese version of the Comprehensive Inventory of Mindfulness Experiences (CHIME), among Chinese college students. Prior to formal testing, 410 subjects completed the...
