A computational approach to understanding the longitudinal changes in cortical activity associated with intensive meditation training

BMC Neurosci January 1, 2010 Manish Saggar, Stephen R Aichele, Tonya L Jacobs et al. 50 citations

Advanced computational methods reveal that intensive meditation training produces lasting alterations in brain activity patterns, beneficially modifying how the brain functions. The approach identifies positive longitudinal changes in cortical activity, suggesting that dedicated meditation practice can reshape the brain and enhance neural well-being.
