Distinct Patterns of Directed Brain Connectivity in Focused Attention, Open Monitoring, and Loving Kindness Meditation: An Electroencephalographic Granger Causality Study with Long-term Meditators

Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience 2026 Vasil Kolev, Kosio Beshkov, Peter Malinowski et al. 2 citations

The present study applied spectral Granger causality (GC) analysis to EEG recordings obtained during focused attention meditation (FAM), open monitoring meditation (OMM), and loving kindness meditation (LKM) in highly experienced meditators. The aim of the investigation was to characterize distinct connectivity signatures associated with each meditation style by examining the strength,...

Neuroplasticity of directed connectivity in long-term meditation: Evidence from EEG Granger causality

bioRxiv July 7, 2025 Vasil Kolev, Kosio Beshkov, Peter Malinowski et al. 1 citation preprint

The objective of the present study was to characterize the effects of long-term meditation (LTM) on directed connectivity patterns during resting-state and meditative brain states. Specifically, it was aimed to identify major cortical sources of information flow and target regions of information influx, and to reveal which frequency-specific oscillatory networks are critically involved in...
