Focused attention meditation training modifies neural activity and attention: longitudinal EEG data in non-meditators.

Soc Cogn Affect Neurosci May 1, 2020 DOI: 10.1093/scan/nsaa020 (opens in new tab) via PubMed Central

Summary

AI-generated from the abstract

Eight weeks of focused attention meditation training in people with no prior meditation experience alters brain activity and attention. EEG recordings showed changes in neural oscillations and improved attentional performance after the training period compared to before. The findings suggest that even short-term meditation practice can modify brain function related to attention.
