The EEG spectral properties of meditation and mind wandering differ between experienced meditators and novices

Neuroimage October 1, 2021 Julio Rodriguez-Larios, Eduardo A. Bracho Montes de Oca, Kaat Alaerts

Previous literature suggests that individuals with meditation training become less distracted during meditation practice. In this study, we assess whether putative differences in the subjective experience of meditation between meditators and non-meditators are reflected in EEG spectral modulations. For this purpose, we recorded electroencephalography (EEG) during rest and two breath focus...

The EEG spectral fingerprints of meditation and mind wandering differ between experienced meditators and novices

bioRxiv Preprint Server July 6, 2021 Julio Rodriguez-Larios, Eduardo A. Bracho Montes de Oca, Kaat Alaerts preprint

Previous literature suggests that meditation training is associated with changes in participants’ experience during meditation practice. In this study, we assess whether putative differences in the experience of meditation between meditators and non-meditators are reflected in EEG spectral modulations. For this purpose, we recorded electroencephalography (EEG) during rest and two breath focus...

Bidirectional alpha power EEG-neurofeedback during a focused attention meditation practice in novices.

Javier R. Soriano, Eduardo A. Bracho Montes de Oca, Angeliki-Ilektra Karaiskou et al.

Abstract Neurofeedback and meditation practices are techniques aimed at enhancing awareness and self-regulation. Training of alpha power has been found to increase mindfulness outcomes, and increases in alpha power seem relatively consistent during focused attention meditation practices. Considering the commonalities between these self-regulation techniques, here we examined the trainability of...
